Downtown Columbia's Hextapus Tree 2014-04-08 - Above Hurt Street, Columbia, KY - Photo CM Staff Photo. A six armed Green Creature reaches Tentacles to the Sky ready to catch something, maybe a helicopter, in a Sci-Fi movie? Maybe, but not. It's just a wonderful tree covered by English Ivy - actually an invasive killer - which has grown into a Columbia landmark which fascinates and tickles the imagination.

Double pleasure with Double Daffodils 2014-04-08 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Daffodil Editors. These Daffodils are the old fashioned double ones, brightening the bomb shelter in this photo. The Daffodils have a beautiful aroma - "bouquet' if they were wine, and there is a Daffodil wine by Galena Cellars, but it's made with grapes - - and a note, the person who reduced the living stand of Daffodils here by half a dozen says she "saved" them because they were laying over. Daffodil rustlers - mostly female - use all kinds of excuses for their crimes. CM Daffodil Editors. Got a favorite show of Daffodils? Please share on CM. Send using any Contact Submit button.

A happy reunion after decades apart at Campbellsville U 2014-04-07 - Technology Traing Center, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Pastor Siler and "Little Bird" - The Church Relations Council of Campbellsville University held spring meetings last Thursday and Friday, April 3-4, 2014. Preston Siler, pastor of Thixton Lane Baptist Church in Louisville, enjoyed a reunion with Robbin Cox who works at CU now but was a child when he pastored her family's church, Mt. Roberts Baptist in Taylor County. Siler said in the early 1970s he called the eleven-year-old daughter of Calvin and Aileen Skaggs his "Little Bird" because of her name, Robbin. She's all grown up now and works in the Virginia Ponser Flanagan Technology Training Center at CU where break-out sessions of the Church Relations Council were held and where the two enjoyed their visit. Siler has been the pastor at Thixton, located on the border of Jefferson and Bullitt Counties, for over 20 years. He asked for a copy of the keepsake photo to share with his wife Rachael who works at UofL so she can see their "Little Bird" now. - Linda Waggener, Campbellsville University Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
