Mother of the Year

Poison hemlock has been increasing locally during the past several years.  Although this plant often was seen along roadways and fencerows, it has expanded into grazed pasturelands and hay fields.

The concern not only comes from its invasive nature, but the fact that it is one of the most toxic plants in the world. Throughout history, the toxicity of poison hemlock is well known for accidental deaths of humans and animals. It was the toxin used to poison the philosopher Socrates.

“Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him.” Genesis 28:1

In Bible times, fathers placed their hands on their children’s heads and spoke certain promises over them, passing on the blessing from generation to generation.

It’s why “Isaac called Jacob and blessed him,” and why Jacob refused to die before blessing his grandchildren, Genesis 48:14.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, 715 W. Main St., Louisville, will present “The Wind in Your Hair: Vintage Motorcycles” July 18 to Sept. 19. The exhibit will feature vintage motorcycles manufactured between 1900 to 1970, memorabilia and accessories, and three motorcycle-related photography collections by Michael Lichter, Danny Lyon and Sarah Lyon.

The museum also will host a series of restoration and customizing workshops, and lectures about collecting motorcycles and the cultural influences of motorcycles in the 20th and 21st centuries.
