Billy Joe writes, "If you happened upon this scene in the green of the Summer growing season you might not even give it a second look. But for me to stumble upon this carpet of Groundcedar glistening green beneath an early February, mid-day sun is always a Winter favorite.
Groundcedar, sometimes called Crowsfoot is actually Fan clubmoss and is in the fern family." Comments | Permalink Postcards from LWC: Saira Mushtaq

Hello everyone! Meet Saira Mushtaq from Karachi, Pakistan. Saira chose Lindsey Wilson College because of our motto, "Every Student, Every Day," and she feels this speaks for itself. Her favorite place that she has visited since she arrived in the U.S. only a few weeks ago was Multnomah Falls, Oregon. "It was the most beautiful sight I had seen in the U.S."
The hardest adjustment she had to make living in America was the food because, in her country, people use extra spices that make the food more flavorful. She shared that "Karachi has the spiciest yet the most delicious food in the whole country. Nothing can beat my country's food! There is so much variety, and the spice level is the best!" She says that "unless tears roll down our eyes due to the spice, it's no fun!" Please welcome Saira! Comments | Permalink Scenic Kentucky: Daddy's Mountain

On a clear winter Sunday afternoon Green River Knob came into clear focus from Patty Ridge Road in Russell County. Wikipedia says "Green River Knob is the tallest point in the Knobs region of Kentucky, United States, with an elevation of 1,789 feet. It is also the highest point in Kentucky outside the Eastern Coalfield. It is located at the border of Casey and Pulaski Counties. Green River Knob can be seen from a long distance, with Pilot Knob in Powell County and Indian Fort Mountain near Berea, Kentucky providing the best views."
