Time to Spread the Love for the month of January. I’m sending a great big Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment during the month-you truly do make the Blind Pig a better place to visit.

January’s winner is… Steve Smith!

And he wins-Volume Twenty-three of the Journal of Kentucky Studies. Hope you enjoy reading it Steve!

I have something to tell you about. I’m starting a new series, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I kept putting it off-because I wasn’t sure exactly how it would work-actually I’m still not sure. But I’m tired of studying on it-and decided to just do it-and if I need to make changes along the way I will.

One of the things I’ve worried about the most is-not wanting to ask you guys to do anything more for me-you already help me preserve and celebrate my Appalachian Heritage-and I’m so grateful for your help-that I hate to ask you to do something else.

My new series-is a photographic journey of sorts. While I sincerely hope you’ll take time to click over and look at each pic-please don’t feel compelled to comment-unless you’re just busting at the seams to do so.

  1. I enjoy the pictures you post in the blog so much, I know I will enjoy the photo’s in your new project too.

  2. I love your new project. I really enjoy reading your blog since it takes me back to my childhood and my grandparents talking about home. The
    moved to Detroit in 1919 and only went back for
    visits every year. My grandmother always said the
    I was related to 90% of Polk and Rutherford counties and since getting into genealogy alittle. boy was she correct. I look forward to reading about your days.

  3. Congratulations to Steve! Somewhere in “the box of pictures” is an old photo of my aunt Reva that looks very much like the picture on that book. Guess that shouldn’t be a surprise it is from the same era.

  4. I really do love coming here, it’s so… comfy, and sometimes challenging, just right.
    Worked in the Hot House today seeding artichokes and thinking of you in a moon signs sorta way. I seem to have a bit of a proclivity for stretchin’ the moon sign stuff, today was a good day for root veggies, but since artichokes need good roots because they are a perennial, I justified. Mostly ‘cuz I was supposed to be planting them early but couldn’t find the packet I knew I had so went out and got me another. Which of course caused me to find the misplaced one. Any way all that to say is the moon sign thing is difficult (but good) on procrastinators like me, and it causes me to think of you.

  5. Tipper, Tipper, Tipper,
    Please take us another picture of that ‘LOVE Tree’ when the Sarvis trees are blooming behind it!…LOL

    “Such a good idee!”…as Grandma would say..
    Congrats to Steve…
    Thanks Tipper,

  6. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed yet another month of virtual travelling to the Appalachia and a unique journey through your heritage. I can’t wait to set out on your photographic journey and find out more about the Appalachia. Thank you, Tipper.
