The Bird Man (Turtle Man?) like phantom was mirrored in the chrome housing on Ivan Greer's 1933 Chevrolet Touring car. How it happened is anybody's guess.

Scenic Adair County, KY - Field of Golden Leaf, at harvest time 2017-08-20 - New Concord Road, at Cecil Blair Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Historic New Concord Church, at the intersection of New Concord Road and Cecil Blair Road, is beautiful through the seasons, and was especially so on Saturday, August 19, 2017, with the field of perfect uniform golden leaf burley tobacco, ready for harvest. Time was, as few decades ago, when huge acreage of this extent was seen only in the Bluegrass, but now, where tobacco is grown in Adair County, it is on an industrial scale, and fields such as this one are the rule, rather than the exception. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Welcome to the family, Adiona Montgomery 2017-08-19 - Oak Grove Road, Adair County, KY - Photo from the family collection. Adiona Montgomery is a bright, beautiful Lab mix who has been formally adopted into the family of Jackie, Ryan and Rebecca Montgomery at their country home. Adiona is a sister puppy being trained in patience and manners by the adult dogs Mosette and Piper, and Adiona is being tolerated by cats Stormy and Houdini. Each of the Montgomery pets has a unique name with a thoroughly researched and reasoned backstory. For instance, the senior Mosette was, in her youth, named Moses by the Grandfather, however, that name was adapted to Mosette when it was discovered Moses was a girl. Adiona is named for "the goddess of safe return" which tells you a little about the pup's early life adventures. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
