Scenic Adair Co., KY intersection: Acree & Old Montpelier Roads 2017-09-16 - Montpelier, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The first time we approached this intersection taking Acree Road from White Oak Road, and turned left to see the views along Old Montpelier Road and returning to KY 92 at Pleasant Hill Christian Church, we had no idea where a turn left would take us; but, turns out it's just a mile from the Central Business District of Montpelier. A of the left side of this photo would have told us so. The rising hill, atop which the original Montpelier stood is readily identifiable. Each time we've visited, though, it's the treatment around the road side has been a reminder of Barbara Armitage's motto for the Adair County Garden Club, Changing Adair County one garden at a time.. The tallest plant in the picture is asparagus, delightful here as an ornamental plant, and a plant which evokes memories of all the volunteer asparagus so prevalent along lanes and fencerows all over this part of Kentucky, and a time when gleaners could safely harvest the plant with no fear of herbicide poisoning, and yet another reminder that this relatively safe, very beneficial, highly prized plant is not more intensely cultivated, is not on restaurant menus in season, has not already created an agri-tourism destination draw for the county. For sure, the best tasting asparagus is, home grown. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Hailey lunching with family on Grandparent's Day 2017-09-15 - Shelby County, KY - Photo by Aunt Judy Goldring. Hailey Elizabeth Waggener and her schoolmates hosted family at lunchtime on Grandparent's Day at Southside Elementary School in Shelbyville, KY recently. Seems a brief time since I attended there with her cousin Matilda Anne a year ago but time flies when little ones are growing up. Hailey follows in the footsteps of her Southside Tiger big brothers Graham and Evan who have moved on to Collins. With her Aunt Judy Smith Goldring standing in for her Smith grandparents, we had a nice threesome lunch visit before school schedules resumed. -- Hailey's Mema Linda Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
