A through-the-CRV-windshield, just-for-the-record picture taken a couple of days ago. The new sign is now up for First Choice Immediate Care Pinewood Shopping Center, giving the day's date, time, and temperature. Across the intersection is Miss Vicky's Pampered Angus Ranch, which is not part of the commercial development zone, the owner says - though she's excited about growth across the road in Pinewood and diagonally across the road in Holladay Place, and is very excited about the prospect of the developing new Natural Gas Distribution hopefully coming from Columbia/Adair Utilities District. - EW Comments | Permalink Wildflowers of KY: White Clover and need-ID Yellow Flowers

White clover abounds in lawns with character. Wouldn't know whether to call it "wild" but it is at least somewhat feral. It was awaiting a Bumbly Bee, but we hadn't the time to wait. The yellow flowers are another matter. Anyone help with identification? Much obliged if you do. - EW,

Hilda Legg, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) State Director of Rural Development, and native of Knifley, KY in northern Adair County, challenged Adair County to think bigger, put together ideas and ask for more. Her dynamic, motivational speech was so strong that afterward, Ace Assistant to the Executive Director JD Zornes said, "If Hilda had spoken for another fifteen minutes, I'd have been ready to change my registration." -LW Comments | Permalink Older Photos
