Mirrored image of Arnold building in LWC building window 2019-02-12 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com. 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.) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair County Teacher Evelyn Hughes remembered 2019-02-12 - Adair County, KY - Photo from Hughes family collection.

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. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

A day without rain looking at the 'new every morning' sunrise 2019-02-12 - Northern Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. 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.

Fine fence work on Rocky Hill Road 2019-02-12 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com. Some of the finest, long-lasting fence work can be seen on the appropriately named Rocky Hill Road. Fields were soaked with rainwater and the breeze blew cold with mist yet the cows paid little attention - all with the exception of one which gave me a sturdy “MOOO!”. - TK Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
