A happy message for someone 2017-05-08 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. This happy message balloon stopped floating and landed in my yard today. The messages around the hand drawn happy face include, "I heart Kailey" and "I heart Mom" and there are two other messages I couldn't quite read. Handwriting and design looks like it might have been done by a creative four year old. If it belongs to you, feel free to click "contact" in the menu box at the top left of this page and share the back story. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Post Blackberry Winter 2017-05-08 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Today's comfortable weather marks the leaving of Blackberry Winter 2017 (unofficially) with Blackberry bushes like these in full bloom. The cold, rainy weekend saw temperatures fall into the 40s and was a tough one for gardening and for the Kentucky Derby. We have been through Redbud and Dogwood winters now, and can look for Linen Britches winter next. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
