Wildflowers of KY: Yellow Trumpet Vine on White Oak Road 2017-06-08 - Easter Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). This yellow trumpet vine was found on White Oak Road near Acree Road in Eastern Adair County, closer to Russell Springs than to Columbia. It's yellow, uncommon in the wild but a color readily available in plant stores. However due to the condition of the plant - not the healthiest for the usually hardy vine, and also because it is in an area of heavy spraying, one would wonder is the color change might have been due to the herbicide. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Remembering Don Franklin 2017-06-08 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, Columbia Magazine print issue. Going back through Columbia Magazine archives, I came across this black and white photo of Don and Barbara Franklin when we were all together at the John B. Begley Chapel opening at Lindsey Wilson College in 1997. It was a happy occasion supporting the college expansion and the good news for Columbia. Clicking this link goes to the story of Don's passing and the community's mourning nine years ago this week. Ed and I send our thoughts and prayers again to his family for the pain of having to give him up too soon. Don is smiling down on them with pride at how they've grown and how the business continues to prosper, expand and contribute so much to Columbia where Franklin Motors, now serving 15 locations, got its start. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
