My husband took this photo when were visiting my brother and sister-in-law in Louisville this past October. They live in the quintessential Kentucky home, a lovely updated farmhouse on several rolling acres at the end of a long, winding driveway. When we got to their house that afternoon, their son Evan greeted us at the door. Evan has autism. He has worked really hard, undergoing intense therapy and schooling for fifteen years now and I know the journey hasn’t been easy for the entire family. But I also know that despite the ups and downs of his challenges, the young man that opened the door that afternoon has one of the purest, gentlest souls in our family.

Wow, it looks very beautiful! Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful picture! Everything is so green and peaceful. I imagine they have not had an easy road.
What a great way to unwind while driving on such a serene country road. Gorgeous! Kudos to Evan and to his parents!
What a wonderful drive. We never know where the roads we take lead to, do we?!
Kentucky is such a beautiful, lush state. I am reminded of that every time we visit our friends who live there.
Love your ‘nearly’ wordless entry; lovely post, sweet story.
I love the old-time feel to your photo.
That looks so inviting. And sunny (we’ve had a lot of rain lately).
Such gorgeous country! A great place to raise kids!
Beautiful!
I like the picture a lot.
Lovely photo! And more meaningful because of your explanation of where you were.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my mushroom photo.

A beautiful photo and story. Blessings to your family. xx
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to leave your kind comment when you stopped by my blog this morning, thus leading me back to yours. My husband’s family is from (and still lives in) Kentucky, so this lovely vista is a familiar one. And your nephew’s story is an inspiration.
