The photo was taken on a beautiful day of the most wildflowers, Saturday, April 11, 2015, near Green River in Green County, KY. Wendy Burt's expert advice was requested prior to posting. She writes, Sunday, April 12, 2015, "You have a lovely photo of a Yellow Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) which are found in moist woods, often in dense colonies. It's always a thrill to come upon these lovely ephemeral wildflowers!" See quotes from the authoritative "Wildflowers Tennessee, the Ohio Valley and the Southern Appalachians" by Horn, Cathcart, Hemmerly & Duhl: "Trout lilies have been called 'living phosphorous sinks,' because their roots retrieve phosphorus from the soil and transfer it to the leaves, making it available to herbivores, such as deer."

Epicurean Kentuckian: Ramune Drinks 2015-04-12 - Charleston, SC - Photo by Pen. Colorful sodas with unique bottles, found while on Spring Break in South Carolina. Wikipedia says, "Ramune is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle, often called Codd-neck bottles after the inventor, Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the codd head is held in place by the pressure of the carbonation in the drink. To open the bottle, a device to push the marble inward is provided. The marble is pushed inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking. Therefore, the drinks are sometimes called marble soda outside of Japan."

Epicurean Kentuckian: Favorite of the past, Angels 2015-04-12 - 101 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Innocent Bystander. Lainey? Trilby? . An early food endorsement, recently found among our family stuff. The hieroglyphics have been translated, "I like the food at Angels." The restaurant was located in the building which is today the office of Attorney Hal Roach. Maybe someone else remembers it better. It had a long string of great proprietors and chefs. I remember Lainey Bennett's and her sister Trilby's tenure best. But before that, there was Mr. Wooten's Jiffy Castle, later Sonny Vaughn's ownership; then, I believe, Neal & Sarah & friends Angel's Cafe with a menu which seemed Woodstock and New York City inspired. There was one eggs and chili breakfast which no Mexican restaurant has ever matched here, before or since. Lainey and Trilby served every thing fresh and cooked to order. Lainey did the kitchen cooking - amazing stuff. And Trilby served pies with meringue as high as Lindsey Hill. It was in a day when everybody worked downtown. Our own Waggener-Walker Newspapers crew, just down the alley at 108 N Reed Street, could overwhelm Angel's and Coomer's and a couple of drug store lunch counters on busy days. That's me trying to look Italian and more important than the banker next seat over at the Angel's counter. One button buttoned on the collar, dressed in the finest polyester available. Maybe others remember, when they have time. - EW. (Photo maybe 1970s) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Smokey the cat brought new energy to Sugarfoot 2015-04-12 - Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, 860 Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Peg Schaeffer. Smokey was reluctantly admitted to Sugarfoot, which is dedicated to Dogs and Horses. But when the family said they were afraid their dogs would eat Smokey, Peg Schaeffer's big heart melted. He joined the family and added new energy to the sanctuary. He's found his niche. New puppies have just arrived. "He's the best playmate in the world for the puppies. He entertains the seniors in the room and keeps them young. And I never know what trick he's got up his sleeve for me. He's our full time comedian," she writes.
