Veronica writes, "Just a few photographs taken at the Biltmore estate. When Mr. Vanderbilt constructed the estate, it consisted of 120,000 acres. The square footage of the home is around 4 acres. It took approximately 6 years for the estate to be built."

7th Annual Adair Co. Book Fair setting up in the fellowship room/chapel of the Columbia Baptist Church.

My late husband Ed and I were married in front of that fireplace (at the right edge of the photo) in 1969 by the Rev. David Gardner before leaving on our 3-day honeymoon to Gatlinburg.  -- Linda

Kentucky Color: Bush Honeysuckle

Billy Joe writes, "Yes, it is an invasive, and not native to our country, but it is a visual treat. It is also an olfactory treat when blooming in the Spring. However, in spite of its sensual splendor I don't encourage planting it or allowing it to regenerate. After a period of years, it will create an impenetrable, consuming and spreading bramble that stifles any regeneration of most of our native species. I've heard it said that too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and this plant just might be a perfect example of the truth of that old saying!"
