Dalton has endured hardships of a puppy meal and life with a hoarder. Peg Schaeffer doesn't expect an adoption to happy, but she has a special bond with Dalton, foreground who has a home at Sugarfoot so long as he needs it.

What is this tree? 2013-08-04 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Mrs. Marcum noticed these trees on a day trip around Adair County, KY, and wondered what they are. They are quite showy at this time of the year, sometimes the dominant attraction in a forest. We'd like more on it - and whether or not, it is a good or bad sign when they are present. Whether they are native or not. And whether there is in utility in them. Anyone have the answer? Send using the Comments button with the photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Pasture on Bloomington Church Road 2013-08-04 - Big One District, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Magistrate Harold Burton - who serves District One on the Adair County Fiscal Court, is a one-man Tourism Commission, Board of Trade, and promoter for the scenic area of Northeast Adair County. He insisted that my favorite mother-in-law and I drive the mile or so out past his church, Bloomington Chapel, to take in the scenery on the dead end road. It's stunning countryside. And so peaceful. So natural. This scene was one Mrs. Marcum really liked. It reminded her of the Metcalfe woman who received a message from her son in France who said that when he got home, he was going to raise Charolais cattle. When the mother wrote to him, she told him she missed him and to be safe, and added, "I don't don't know anything about any Charlie's cows, but good luck with them when you get home." The cows appear to be leading very happy lives - far happier than the pitiful look on animals in feed lots - and the housekeeping would make anyone happy to be their neighbors. The visit - my first there in over the alloted three score and ten - gave me a Little Prince feeling. He had never gotten tired of the fabulous sunsets on his planet. I never tire of seeing a new vista in Adair County. Made me thankful for people like Harold Burton who appreciate what a special place this is. - Ed Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
