Little violet forging on despite changes in weather



2018-12-09 - Sycamore Spring - Photo by Cynthia A. Meyer.
While surveying the perimeters on the farm just a little west of the Metcalfe/ Adair County line Friday, December 7, 2018, I came upon this misguided spirit. Despite being a bit too early or the threat of incoming inclement weather did not deter this small violet from trying its best to forge on.

Today's ice coating of limbs and wires feels like an ice storm

By Linda Waggener

While enjoying some soup around noon I was interrupted by a tremendous thud. The soup forgotten, I checked inside the house to see who or what might have fallen, then looked out the windows and saw the problem.

A huge limb lay on the ground at the Arnold Waggener property line. It was a casualty of the weight of today's ice coating the trees and ground coupled with its age. When I came here, the neighbors said we'd get along just fine so long as I didn't bother the glorious Elm line tree. I promised and have never touched it. I'm sorry Mother Nature broke its limb in today's ice storm.

Kentucky Color: I JUST ASK THAT YOU REMEMBER

By Billy Joe Fudge
I heard a tree standing by Burkesville Road
At the corner of Bomar Heights.
I've been hearing him softly speaking
Most each day and many many nights.
Sometimes he speaks to my heart
And sometimes he speaks to my mind.
He often is bold and forceful
But he is always friendly and kind.
Given the hard times and abuse
Which have been thrown his way,
It's really hard to believe that
He still survives until today.
He talked to me recently about
When he was born and his life.
He said, "B J, if I can call you that,
I was born amongst trouble and strife,
For it was the Depression you see.
There was a weakly ol' fence
That cornered near my feet
And since it was the only defense
Against the road and the street;
They wrapped that wire around me
Which nearly choked me for a while,
But I'm a really tough ol' tree."

Comment: sees Tom's Grandfather in the waffle breakfast photo

Re: the waffle, egg and sausage cooked in a waffle iron

By Ralph Waggener


I believe I can see some "Edmonton Pendleton Waggener" in his Grandson Tom Waggener's photo. Inventive ways run in our family and Tom’s Waffle, egg and sausage all cooked at the same time on a waffle iron makes me think of Tom's Dad Ed, and our Dad, E.P., always thinking of an easier way to do something. Tom I’m proud to call you my nephew with this talent you have! Keep on with the ideas, I like this very much! - Uncle Ralph Roy

JIM: sixty-five years ago in Adair County, KY

By JIM

In early December 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower had been president since January 20, the Korean Conflict had drawn to a weary close scarcely four months earlier, and a gallon of gasoline cost about twenty-nine cents (somewhere around $2.70 in today's money).

Meanwhile, back in The Shire...


News items and ads from 65 years ago

All sorts of items dotted the front page of the Adair County News published 65 years ago today -- December 9, 1953.

The Adair County High basketball team christened the just opened gymnasium by upending Campbellsville High 75-62. Rowe and Shearer combined for well over half of the Indians' points. In the most recent Lindsey Wilson games, Russell County High (in its first year of existence), picked the pockets of Lindsey's "B" team 70-58, but the Blue Raider "A" team quintet took Bethel College to the woodshed with a 101-43 thrashing.
