Huge Snowy Owl, believed to be making first appearance here, is causing quite a stir in Taylor County - with interest across the Commonwealth. Photos by Wayne Baxter included with this story with fabulous photos of the Great Snowy owl and the excitement and valuable attention this solitary creature has drawn to Taylor County and the region, posted today, Saturday, March 31, 2018.
And a Note: - Five Days ago, Derek Coomer caused a huge stir with this picture posted on Monday, March 26, 2018, a photo he'd taken one week before: Great Snowy Owl spotted north of Campbellsville

By Wayne Baxter

A small flock of photographers were gathered on Cave Road (KY 744). North of Campbellsville Saturday afternoon, March 31, 2018. Their interest was a Snowy Owl, a species not seen here before, as far as I know.

Scenic Adair Co., KY - Flowers for Easter at USPS 42728



2018-03-31 - At the United States Post Office, 42728 - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
It's worth a trip to Columbia's United States Post Office on Easter Sunday just to see these newly opened flowers, whether one has a letter to drop in the mail or not. This photo was taken on Saturday, March 31, 2018 - and there wasn't time to ID it before sharing. They mean so much for the Easter season. By the way, for those of us who make a daily visit to pick up the mail, it's been great to see the increase in activity at the local office, now benefitting from an "Amazon" boom. And, we hope, from an increase in the use of "real mail." (After all, Columbia remains a major printing center.) For many of us, whether there's one handwritten letter in the our box, or it's packed with newspapers, bills, magazines, or there's nothing at all, whatever time we choose to visit it's always great to rekindle friendships, and it's a comforting social activity that keeps our world in place, in order. The flowers today were just a bonus and an Easter reminder. - EW

Celia Downey: Robert Stone Haiku touches nurses' hearts

Celia downey writes:

Mr. Stones' Haiku touched many Nurses' hearts today:
"When your dog fears you,
"your church going and long prayers
"are bullying sham.
--Robert Stone, Saturday, 31 March 2018."
We realize the most vulnerable in our society are often neglected and abused, used for manipulation in many ways. We see it, we recognize it, we get it.

This vulnerable population includes all lives who have no voice. - CD

Thanks, Celia Downey:. There's profound wisdom every day in Mr. Stone's haiku, and in your critique. Thanks for letting readers know how it touched you and those in your profession. - EW

Mr. Stone has now contributed haiku daily for 2390 days on CM, carried each day in the Today section. For today, Today - SATURDAY with CM - 31 Mar 2018.

Elementary students show love through artwork

Art Teacher Adrianna Hash's Campbellsville Elementary students learn that art is a way to express feelings in a individual manner, in a kind and giving way.
Click on headline for story with photo(s)

By Calen McKinney

Campbellsville Elementary School students are learning about showing love through their artwork. In Adrienne Hash's art class, students recently listened to the book "Willow" by Denise Brennan-Nelson.

The book is about an art teacher who doesn't like anything to be different or out of the ordinary. But one of her students, named Willow, helps the art teacher change her attitude. Willow gave her teacher a book of her artwork.
