Horrible Hurricane Helene: Why So Bad for WNC?
October 29, 2024
Hurricane Helene was a monster storm, but the way it hit Western North Carolina couldn’t have been much worse.
Nice work for a working breed!
We’d all be happy to have our image ruined in your living room! You two look like you live in the lap of luxury there. What’s in the vases on the shelves?
Those are face jugs, a particularly type of pottery that had their U.S. origins in this area (debates about whether that is North Carolina, South Carolina, or Northern Georgia – but in this region for sure). They were a craft of slaves that may have been used simply for water, but were more likely used to keep others from seeing what was inside (whether slave owners or children – the faces were meant to convey evil).
The craft was picked up by others, including some of the moonshiners in the area.
They are fascinating works of art.
What? Fireplace? *giggles* Just kidding…. I am all about some sofa-surfing!
BUSTED!!!! There goes our image of a SiberHerd of rugged, Northern Sled Dogs. Oh welllllll!
Not as far as we’re concerned! Besides, your fireplace looks rugged and all.
Can me and Zim come over? We aren’t allowed on the comfy furniture. We’ll bring snow!
Luv,
Dave
What a perfect place to spend a rainy day!! Oh, and mom says your fireplace is gorgeous!!

You do look more like pampered house pets than rugged sled dogs.
Nice living and fireplace! They look too comfortable. BTW, where is the rest of the Herd?
That is a lovely fireplace you have:-)
Wow!
Chateau Herd rocks!
What a lucky Herd to have such a comfy, cozy place to spend a cold, rainy day.
The collies agree, those are the best ways to spend a rainy day! 🙂
Everybody has got to take a rest sometime. It is gonna rain all day today so bruce will know exactly how you feel. Hugs and kisses to the comfy herd lol.
The pupparazzi have a way of stalking and snapping pix of you at your most embarassing, inopportune, times. darn pupparazzi!
