Kentucky Color: Winter Beauty 2019-02-01 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. During the cold winter days from Christmas through February, American Holly falls into my "Winter Beauty" category. Their glossy green foliage and fire engine red berries make for fool-proof identification even from a distance. American Holly is r-e-a-l-l-y slow growing. Because they are such slow growers they almost always are found in the understory of the forest. Even when transplanted into our urban landscapes like this one, they almost never exceed 50 feet in height. As you can see this one is loaded with berries. Birds will eat them when their normal food sources are scarce or unavailable. When the ground is frozen and snow covered for extended periods of time, flocks of Robins will attack Holly's in a must see act of nature to completely strip even large trees like this one in a matter of hours. Columbia has more than it's share of large Holly trees. Do you recognize this Old Friend? If so, where is it? I think it would be a great idea to catalog all the larger American Holly in Columbia, don't you?

A breakfast favorite of Ed's - in the skillet before the flip 2019-02-01 - Adair County, KY - Photo archive photo by Ed Waggener. Ed Waggener was a good cook, an artful cook, and always wanted to have a restaurant like Lainey's, for those who remember the little restaurant that was once Coomer's and then her's. He said he'd serve only what he wanted to, keep it to just a few basics and only open a few hours a day, mostly around breakfast. On the occasion of this photo last winter, he carved out the centers of his favorite rye bread, put lots of butter in the Robert-Flowers-recommended iron grill, on the cook top we bought from Marsha Walker after one of her remodels, and then gently placed an egg in the well of each piece of bread. He patiently tended them, just as we'd seen Olivia Dukakis do in the movie Moonstruck, turning only after the eggs were fully cooked on one side and were ready for the flip - a very tedious part of the process. He had already cooked the bacon and it was ready to be put on top and served with wildly strong coffee. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
