Day trip: north eastern Adair County, greater Little Cake area

By Ed and Linda Waggener

On one of the finest fall-like mornings so far in 2017, the direction of Pellyton was calling. We didn't get that far, however, because we were distracted by the technicolor landscape and turned off Highway 206 onto a side road that offered plenty of beautiful spots in need of pictures before the light changed.

An album of sights are being attached to this note.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Cornsilk - for Tea? Salad? Medicine? Toy?



2017-08-06 - Not far from The Big Dawg Radio Tower, Purdy/Little Cake KY - Photo by Linda Reid Marcum Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c).
Cornsilk played a big role in my early years in Sulphur Well. More sophisticated artisans, I learned later, made Cornshuck dolls. I couldn't wait. I made naturally curly haired dolls at this fresh cornsilk phase. Each, of course, got its own name, and since they were perishable dolls, each was properly lamented when it "passed on." - LW.
Don't consume any cornsilk products without thorough research. It's interesting to note that cornsilk has played and still does play a limited role in medicine, as a salad topping, and has medicinal properties. The only recipe we could locate in a brief perusal can be seen at this link: "Crisp Corn Silk Salad with Rosemary and Hazelnuts". And here's a very interesting link on the sexy details of cornsilk. See Wiki/corn_silk. Paired photo - Article on locally grown "Coffee" and Clicking Read More accesses a Little Cake Day Trip story. - EW

Butterflies & Moths of Kentucky: Fall Webworm



2017-08-06 - Fairview Road, Little Cake/Purdy area, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c).
Is everything beautiful, in it's own way? Maybe some will find these silky structures built by Fall Webworms, pretty, though an article on the creatures in Wikipedia describes the tents as "aesthetic pests." This will be home in their caterpillar stage. Next, they will be moths whose beauty cannot be disputed. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_webworm - EW
