If you live for the summer, I apologize ahead of time for my excitement – but I LOVE autumn like nobody’s business. Pumpkins, Thanksgiving, colorful leaves, seasonal drinks at Starbucks, sweet potato pie, football season, college basketball… I get even giddier when talk turns to autumn.
I guess that’s why I couldn’t help smiling ear to ear when I saw this event notification in my e-mail: End of Summer Blast at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park. We’re (almost) approaching the end of summer, and that means my good friend Autumn is just around the corner.
Yay!!!!

Speaking of Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park and Autumn (two of my personal favorite subjects), you HAVE to make plans to visit Pennyrile this Autumn – as many times as possible. It’s just breathtakingly gorgeous when the trees put on their colorful Autumn attire. Seriously, it’ll leave you speechless. The same can be said for just about all of the Kentucky State Parks – they’re beautiful year-round, but Autumn is a show unto itself. Last year we hit Pine Mountain State Resort Park at the perfect time – it made for some amazing pictures (see Pine Mountain State Park Pictures).
