Sunshine on water and greens after many rains 2019-01-05 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. We have full, beautiful sunshine today, Saturday, January 5, 2018 - a real treat after many gray days of this new year.

Happy weekend. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
