Little tree with many lessons 2020-10-30 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Jane Smith. Photographer Jane Smith writes, "This has been my work view for the month of October. I've watched this tree go from green to yellow and now it's coming on with a little orange. Yay! At one point I thought it was more than one tree but it's just one...(true story). "This little misshapen tree growing all wild all over the place makes me smile (everyday). It has reminded me more than once that it's OK to be a little out of shape... That you don't have to blend in with the others... That things are ever changing. If you have to join the workforce everyday it's pretty awesome to have a room with a view don't you think?"

Mystery: what could be attacking the porch? 2020-10-29 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Mystery: what in the world could be attacking the porch railing? Since the start of the Pandemic, something has apparently "chewed" into the rails on the porch. We have wondered about the animals that live in this downtown neighborhood beside Town Creek - groundhogs, squirrels, raccoons, dogs, cats, wood bees, wasps, birds/woodpeckers - but so far no one who is regularly observing it can figure it out. Reminded of a favorite play, Greater Tuna, where Aunt Pearl exclaims about an egg sucking dog, "where's my bitter pills?!" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Hoss Cartwright's new toy, Little Joe 2020-10-29 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Victoria Pike of Miss Vicky\'s Pampered Angus Ranch. This is Little Joe, Hoss Cartwright's new toy on the Pampered Angus Ranch. He thinks Hoss is to be chased through the house around 5am. Not working for me at that hour. Little Joe's momma decided to hide from him a while and he was boohooing at the back door, talking to Hoss through the door, so I let him in, put flea stuff on and turned him loose. He’s been on Hoss’s heals the last 10 days. I now get it why momma cat disappeared. She’s back now that his butt is inside. Cat crate may become necessary to give Hoss a break.
