Crawfish house 2020-06-10 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Larry Clark. Larry writes, "I was riding in the neighborhood when I saw this crawfish mound. The sight of it invoked a memory. When the government took our land in order to build the Green River Lake, my dad found a farm in Milltown, close to the acreage we had up on the river. I remember he would cuss those mounds pointing his finger at them, telling my mother how crawfishy that ground was. Meaning it was too wet and swampy. My father hated being moved from the place he loved. --Larry" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Cases are on the rise here - self protection advised 2020-06-10 - Russell County, KY - Photo from Amy Tomlinson, LCDHD ten-county district. Cases are on the rise locally. Expanded testing alone does not fully account for our increased COVID-19 cases. In other words, COVID-19 is actively expanding in our communities. We do believe, however, that COVID-19 can be contained in the general public, without another economic shut-down, if most people will observe the precautions. Avoiding crowds as much as possible remains your best way to reduce your risk. Washing your hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, wearing a mask when out in public, staying home if you have a fever or are coughing, increasing sanitation, and avoiding touching your face further reduces your risk.

She is sharing a Fun Fact about her: "I enjoy getting my hands in the soil. Tending the garden at home with my mom is one of my hobbies." *Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal proportions of instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk.
