Glimpse of an Old House in Mayslick Kentucky - Robert Ellis 2018-08-16 - Mayslick, Mason County, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis. This partial view of a lovely old house is, in reality, the same house that my photo of the old Packard is parked in front of from a few weeks back. In that pic this scene is only partially viewable and it wasn't until I scrummaged around the house before I noticed this. - Robert Ellis (c) Robert Ellis Woodworking Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Flowers of KY - Nicotiana, a native blossom 2018-08-16 - Taylor Ford Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Without the name, above, and the context from a photo of the rest of the plant, this beautiful native flower is not readily recognizable except by those who grew up having to work in burley tobacco fields and had the chore of "topping" - breaking off the flowers to produce fuller leaves - when practically every farm in South Central Kentucky had a small acreage allotment as the major cash income on the farm. Those hard labor chores and others vexing jobs in the tobacco patch spurred many a youth to pursue careers in engineering, military surface, medicine, law as well as factory jobs in Cold Country, a way up North - anything, they'd swear, which would not involve tobacco! According to the entry in Wikipedia Tobacco, the plant is native to both North and South America. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
