Kentucky snowfall

Zachary enjoyed his morning coffee amidst a fresh Kentucky snowfall

Stan's California sister Sosie is in the midst of organizing the estate of her husband Bill's late aunt in Ohio. For Thanksgiving week, they've been joined by their son Zach and his wife Jennifer and have taken the opportunity to seek amusement in the area, including a trip to the Maker's Mark bourbon distillery in Kentucky. Last night was spent in a bed and breakfast which featured (wow) an actual snowfall, perhaps an oddity for these West Coast pilgrims. Sosie writes:
Peace to you from your very grateful sister. We stayed last night in the Old Stone Shop, 1811, a three-story original dormitory at the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.
Downstairs we have a kitchen. Bill and Zach built a fire in the large fireplace and we had a Rosenblum Zinfandel. Upstairs, we had comfy beds and instant hot showers. Everything we needed or wanted.
This is the morning view from our front stoop. Sorry I can't send the soothing sound of the snow fluff blowing in a light breeze.
After breakfast in the Trustees' Office, we will take a looksee thru the largest restored Shaker village in America, something I've wanted to do since 1971 when I was lucky enough to see Sabbathday Lake in Maine and the round barn in Massachusetts.
Happy in the snowfall,
Sosie

Here are her notes from Monday's Kentucky bourbon tour:

The mash is fermenting in a 100-yr-old cypress 12 foot by 12 foot barrel. All is well on the Maker's Mark Distillery tour and bourbon tasting. So well, that they are three years behind in production. My favorite part was the 1940s kitchen where Marjorie Samuels developed the marketing for her husband's new bourbon recipe and baked bread of various grains to find just the right, milder combination of grains for a smoother blend than the existing family bourbon recipe.
In the photo [above], Marjorie experimented and developed the shape of the bottle, name branding, and signature red wax seal. Zoom in on the tabletop to see a familiar countertop/tabletop design.
