DAY TRIP: Going to Anymore, Kentucky

By Linda Waggener

Right now I can't be bothered, I've got to go back to the town of Anymore, the delightful place I first visited with my Grandmother Addie Turner Leftwich. From her vantage point at 80-something, she frequented the town of Anymore, usually with a deep sigh.

Anymore, you can't get a durn thing done. Anymore, you simply can not find help.

It was of a Thursday at lunch where the Watson girls bake and cook that I last visited Anymore.

Mr. Avalee Huddleston at the next table over remembered with the Watson boys, Steve and Mike, "Anymore they don't, but back then people knew how to work..."

Kentucky Color: Dissimilar Cones

By Billy Joe Fudge

There are many who ascribe to the philosophy that states "if you've seen one mountain, you've seen them all." Well, even if that were true with mountains, it certainly would not be true with pine cones. The more stocky heavy cone in the accompanying photo is a Loblolly Pine cone and the tree in the foreground is a Loblolly. Another more common name for Loblolly is Southern Pine.

About all pine have edible seed which is produced at the base of the little tabs called scales. Usually there are two in each scale. They are called pine nuts and can be purchased at the grocery. You can see that most Loblolly scales have a thorny thingamabob on the ends.
