Queen Anne's Lace still reigns among wildflowers 2017-10-03 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Fall in this area is my second favorite season (spring is first). Fall brings incredible colors of leaves and continuing blooming weeds like the Queen Anne's Lace -- only "Don't call them weeds. Call them plants," in the words of flower girl Joyce Coomer. She and I agree that every plant has a reason, like them or not. Alicia Bosela says that before you mow or weed whack, remember, every plant is a food source with some purpose in the life cycle of this planet.

2017 Square Crows without portfolios: DeLaval/Columbia 'entry' 2017-10-03 - Fountain Plaza, in front of 130 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Bradford Bailey, left, and Phillip Akin were representing DeLaval's founding as living Square Crows this morning, Tuesday, October 3, 2017, while, they claimed, "waiting for the bus." Between them, they have almost 80 years experience at the DeLaval, later IMO Pump, plant in Columbia. Phillip Akin was in the first class, held at the old Curry Flooring Building, for workers at the plant when it first opened. Bradford Bailey was in the second class. Both were in the original 45 workers hired at the plant which has meant so much to the economy of Adair County. Both are now retired. Didn't find out which "bus" they were waiting for; it's been a long time since Hack Rowe close the Greyhound office here, and even longer since the Fuqua lines bus from Somerset to Hopkinsville, KY, ran the airport limousine Chevrolet along KY 80. That was in the 1950's. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
