Wildflowers of Kentucky: a summer favorite 2019-06-27 - Backroads around Green River Lake - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. This field Daisy scene just captures all the joys of summer for me. The gentle breeze stirring the blossoms so the lens can barely focus, the colors and smells of the rolling hillsides they thrive on and the reminder of the strong women who raised me, teaching me to appreciate them, all come to me each spring and early summer. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The shopping center is currently owned by three entities. Rogers and council member Sharon Payne voted no to a first reading while council members Mark Harris, June Parson, and Craig Dean voted yes on the action.
