The mirrored image of downtown buildings was too good to pass up on this day full of fog and rain. The building, at left, owned by Lindsey Wilson College, offers great window space for college artwork. The quote, part of the Adair County Health Department Smoke Free campaign, is pretty good too. (If you read backwards in the top left, it announces that the music store is coming soon. That's good news for the square.)

Adair County Teacher Evelyn Hughes remembered

2019-02-12 - Adair County, KY - Photo from Hughes family collection
Teacher Evelyn Hughes kept albums containing school pictures many of her students had given her. Her nephew Sammy Hughes, teacher at Adair County Middle School, brought them to a recent meeting of the Adair Heritage Association at the Adair Public Library. She was the youngest of seven children born to Samuel Zack Hughes and Effie Staton Hughes of the Rockhouse Bottom/Crocus areas of Russell and Adair Counties. Sammy Hughes said there was a lot of Native American heritage on the Staton side, Evelyn's grandmother spoke Cherokee. She taught first at Knifley, then Flatwoods Rosenwald School and then John Adair fourth and fifth grades.

A day without rain looking at the 'new every morning' sunrise

The house in progress, looming amidst piles of displaced red earth, the skeletal shapes of staging and a ladder propped near the front porch, even the white chunks of PVC lying about like the dismembered bones of some prehistoric giant, all faded in relation to the 'new every morning' grandeur of sunrise.
