There's a good steady flow of loads coming in, not much wait time at all, according to David Beasley, Solid Waste Coordinator, who is working his second Free Tipping Day at the Adair County Transfer Station, 877 L Willis Road, Columbia, KY. There's no weighing which speeds things along. Just drive up, dump and go. Free Tipping ends today at 11:30amCT. For more information, David can be reached at 270-590-9488.

Each spring I have to re-learn the name of the Paulownia tree, or Royal Paulownia, or, Royal Princess Tree. I searched until I found the last word on the trees by Billy Joe Fudge where he wrote that the "Paulownia is a tree of Asian origin that was imported to this country and planted as an ornamental. Although it is a very unique tree with lavender blooms and whitish, silvery, smooth bark it is rarely planted in landscapes but ends up there a lot as an act of nature. It is now naturalized in much of the Eastern and Southern United States." I'm so glad to have his knowledge! All I know is that they are lovely trees when they bloom and a great addition to south central Kentucky. - LW Comments | Permalink Older Photos
