Poetry by Robert Stone: The eve of a new year The eve of a new year a poem by Robert Stone On all the eves of all the years all of men send up their cries some for peace to all the earth some for chance to prove their worth some that all find second-birth some for wealth-obtaining power some for wisdom of the hour some that 'neath them men should cower Prayers to God omnipotent prayers to gods that men invent ceaseless prayers for endless things rise to heaven on countless wings But all of men when hope is fled when ease is gone and peace is dead find that words do not suffice in seeking comfort purpose peace advice And only those who know their God who walk the ways that love has trod who have a hope that never fails though it be dimmed as fear assails may comfort those who have no peace and care for those whose needs increase Each of us must pray to be filled with love's humility remembering that all mankind in those who trust their faith shall find And lest indifference creep in unheeded in the rush and din let us recall with solemn air as we begin our every prayer that all the sea has once been tears and all the air has once been sighs- Robert Stone, 6 December 1959 2009-12-31 14:14:28 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Poetry by Robert Stone
Remembering Christmas in 1954 in Columbia, KY It took all the family's income from tobacco and corn to just live and make the yearly farm payment. But missionaries from Lindsey Wilson - Miss Beverly Dotson and three others - were angels that Christmas in 1954 By Claria Rodgers I remember on December 24th 1954 as my daddy didn't have a lot of money. He did his best as there was 8 of us children at the time. We never got a lot for Christmas gifts. Some way he and mom would get us a toy watch or a coloring book and crayons. We lived on a small farm where we raised tobacco and corn. It took all we got out of that to live on and pay our farm payment once a year.

Gadberrys last couple married in 20th Century in Adair Co.? Was the Daniel and Betty Gadberry wedding last in 20th Century, Adair Co., KY? There are five December 31, 2009 anniversaries, listed in Birthdays and Anniversaries today, and Ann Burton Murphy thinks that one, the anniversary of Daniel and Betty Gadberry is of special significance. "As far as I know," she said, "they are the last couple to marry, in Adair County, in 1999." We don't challenge that assumption. If anyone knows of another wedding on that date, let us know. There are several Anniversaries, Birthdays, and In Memory Birthdays for today. If we've left one out, it is unintentional.

Colleen Bardin adds 5 Frost Flower photos from Adair Co., KY "God has given us so much beauty if we will just stop and look." About: Kentucky Color: Rare sight. Patch of frost flowers by Billy Joe Fudge, including 10 or more photos. To see the five new frost flower photographs by Colleen Bardin, click on headline. By Colleen Bardin I have some pictures of lovely frost flowers, or ice flowers, that I took on our farm right here in Adair County in early December. These were found on crownbeard plants beside a creek. I also have pictures of the very first ones I saw in 2007. We live off East 80. I saw my first frost flowers a couple of years ago. Can't believe I've lived this long and had never seen these lovely formations before. God has given us so much beauty if we will just stop and look. 2009-12-31 05:12:38 | Comments | Printable version
Kentucky Color: Snowdrift Weeping Crabapple ready for birds The next earlier Kentucky Color is Sawbriar red, orange, and black. By Billy Joe Fudge, President Homeplace on Green River, 6035 New Columbia RD, Campbellsville, KY I promised to give you an update on our Snowdrift Weeping Crabapple crop and here it is. When you last saw these Crabapples on September 16, 2009, they were red with a little green. If you remember I talked about the apples needing to be frozen a few times for the birds to eat them with any regularity. Now they are stopping by to eat a few. A few days ago I observed a flock of Starlings munching along the line of Crabapple trees along the Northeast side of Helen Flatt Drive on Lindsey Hill. Thankfully they haven't found this tree yet. -Billy Joe Fudge 2009-12-31 04:46:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge

Trucker urges slower drivers to remember to keep right Comment by Mark Hale I too thank the KSP for the warning of passing on the right, however there is also a law in place that tells slower drivers to "keep right" or "keep right except to pass." This is just as much of a law as not passing on the right. I'll be the first to say and I bet many others do as well, if you're doing the speed limit in the left lane and someone in front of you is doing one-half the speed limit in the left lane and won't get in the lane in which they belong, I''m passing on the right.
