Beautiful Barns Along the Road To Gratz, KY



2019-06-02 - Gratz, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis.
Robert writes, "In reality this rural farm scene is along Highway 127 on the road to Owenton, Kentucky. I identified Gratz in my title since that was my ultimate destination. This area, North of Frankfort, was hinted at by a customer at a recent art festival I was attending. In the end I wound up racking over 250 miles on my truck, and maybe 3-4 printable images, one of which is another barn from the Gratz area...forthcoming." --ROBERT ELLIS.

Letter: Poetic solidarity

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
I've had my "sails" disturbed by "change" so many times but with "belief and trust" I've successfully made it through the "living maze".

Thanks so much for sharing and although I was never blessed with a visit to "Flatrock Coffee, Tea & More", I lament your loss along with you. --BJF

May 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

This article probably dates to May of 1978, and first appeared in the Daily Statesman. It has been edited slightly for the Internet. Topics in that issue included the school board race, a fishing tournament, tourism in Lexington and Edmonton, and an interesting bit of trivia about the move to ANC dialing in Adair County. "DRake-plus four" hasn't come up yet in the Fairplay discussion this week. --Pen

Dogwoods need water, plant food
The dogwoods which were transplanted are showing need of water, an inspection of the trees shows, says Forest Warden A. L. Sinclair. Sinclair has recommended watering the trees personally, if showers of blessing don't fall from the sky. Sinclair reports that Mayor Downey has ordered plant food pellets for the trees, which can be placed in the ground now and should help the trees to thrive.

The best looking ones now are the dogwoods which the Mayor planted day one of the project. They've got leaves and a few blooms. You can see them on the Tutt Street side of the Rock House.

Lexington tourist homes high
A fellow who just returned from Lexington and stayed in the big downtown hotel, told me Sunday, "That tall tourist home in Lexington is a rip-off. They want to charge $45 for a room for two, and a jug costs you $21." He said he called room service to see what a jug would cost. They told him $21. He answered, "Fine, you keep it. I'll walk a half-a-mile and buy it myself. I can work 14 minutes for $15. I'm from Adair County."

Poetry by Robert Stone: Unexpected change

Unexpected change: a sonnet on the closing of Flatrock Coffee, Tea & More
It seems when things are much the way we want,
some unexpected change disturbs our sails
and loosens all the certainties once taunt
that kept our voyage steady without fails.

Attacks that are not personal sting most
for explanations bandage intellect
and give us underpinnings so to boast
that our response will rise above the wrecked.

Another’s vision kindles our despair,
demanding quickly quenching spreading fire
and watching long for sparks once more to flair
that would burn through desires that we admire.

We must believe and trust in untried ways
that lead us in then out of living maze.
~ Robert Stone, 25 May 2019
