Daisy Lynn visits the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, Covington, Kentucky

July 28th, 2013 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption Lovers…

Daisy Lynn, Grandma and I decided to venture over to the Cathedral to see if they had a garden we could meander through.

The garden area is in the back of the Basilica.  It is very quaint (not like the Cathedral!;)

Look howl blue the sky is in the windows.  The clouds were so puffy.

This view really gave the stain glass a run for its money!

Basilica1

The area is a quiet sanctuary and we had the whole thing to ourselves.  There are plenty of benches to sit and stink awhile;)

This is Grandma and Daisy Lynn in the shadows.  There is a shady path that winds around the towering gargoyled topped church.  There are 26 gargoyles so if you visit the garden area, bring your binoculars.  Very cool.

Basillica4

This is around the next corner.  Those are 2 huge magnolia trees.  I bet a few weeks ago they were stunning.

This is a picture from the website.  I did not get a picture from the front.

Then it was time to go home to our own quiet sanctuary….

More loving spending time visiting places that are hound friendly later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB floating on those clouds that were in the windows)

    What a beautiful place!! It is amazing you had it all to yourselves. Our temps here on the weekend were very Fall like & rainy. It really seemed odd to wear jeans & long sleeve shirts. Today was beautiful!!! I really like the cooler temps instead of temps near 90. Your garden is beautiful!
