This day in Lexington, April twenty-ninth, history may be quiet, but the city is anything but sleepy. Late April in the Bluegrass means we're hitting that sweet spot of spring when everything comes alive at once.

Walk through any neighborhood right now and you'll catch the last of the cherry blossoms giving way to the dogwoods in full bloom. The redbuds that painted our hillsides pink just weeks ago are settling into their heart-shaped leaves, and if you know where to look, you might spot the native wildflowers carpeting the forest floors around town.

This is prime time for the Arboretum out on Alumni Drive, where the tulip trees are getting ready to show off and the walking trails are perfect for an evening stroll. Downtown, the farmers market at Cheapside is back in full swing on Saturdays, with early spring greens and the first greenhouse tomatoes making their debut.

Weather-wise, we're typically sitting pretty with highs in the seventies and those cool mornings that remind you why folks have been settling in this valley for centuries. The horses are loving it too, with breeding season winding down and the yearlings getting their first real taste of Kentucky bluegrass.

That's your history for today.
