    Oil lamp with a snowy view



    2007-02-18 - 122 East Fortune Street, Columbia - Photo by Linda Waggener.
    ADAIR COUNTY AWOKE TO A BEAUTIFUL SNOW COVER TODAY with a couple of inches on the ground, about knee deep to a cat. It's a good morning to edge up the heat, light Grandma Marcum's oil lamp and enjoy the view. The little bit of woods at the end of the yard is a favorite spot for nieghborhood hunters. A blue heron swoops into the little pool in the Town Creek to hunt minnows. Robbins and Cardinals and Blue Jays sail in for bugs and worms. A deer occasionally rests in the spot behind the big tree trunk. Cats of all kinds and colors come to catch mice, but don't worry about those two orange lights to the right of the lamp, those are not the eyes of a Bobcat, only reflections of other lamp lights in the glass.
