Springtime on Fortune Street, mid-January 2012-02-01 - Near Banks of Town Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. These daffodils are no Gradyville, KY early bloomers, such as Sharon Whitehurst's green thumb has coaxed from the winter ground, nor Joyce Coomer's round flowers seen on Johnson School Road in Greater Fairplay but they average well for our mighty fertile one-acre farm. I'm right proud of Linda and her Momma, Geniece, for these January 31, 2012 daffodils. Soon they'll brighten our view from our tiny back porch, our special coffee place, where we stand sentry against grundoon invasions, and talk to passing Fortune Street cats, who, somehow, sense when Mrs. Marcum is around and that's another observation: it's a bit magical to observe cross species soul sharing. Amazingly, the cats and the birds, the dogs and horses, seem better able to judge human character than humans. And some human eye contact with their animal equals is just as perceptive. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
