mountain living: Speechless Sunday in the western NC mountains - I can't see you - 05/06/12 12:35 PM
Speechless Sunday in the western NC mountains and just over the NC/GA state line we came across this little guy - hey, don’t call him shorty! Well, whatever his name was he was the cutest and curious little horse. I guess he could still see us with all that mane because he kept following us back and forth the fence line. There are some great Farms and Horse Properties here in the mountains!

mountain living: Here in Murphy, NC the story goes that...another Cherokee Legend - 03/27/12 01:49 PM
Here in Murphy, NC the story goes that once a young Cherokee Indian brave was out hunting with his dog and a flash flood came upon them and separated them. Later, when the young brave went back looking for his dog he came upon him high up in a tree, safely hanging on up in the branches. So this area was then called Hanging Dog. Cherokee County, NC has roads, communities, bike trails, campgrounds and many other locations named after Hanging Dog. Many of the communities, lakes and rivers are named after Cherokee Indian names. see what the word Nantahala

There are only a few signs left here in Murphy, NC mountains of the gorgeous Fall season we’ve had. It was so beautiful and this years autumn hues were better than a lot of people thought they’d be.

The last two days we’ve had rain and more and more of the leaves are filling our lawns with leaves to be raked in piles and burned or bagged away. So take some time to enjoy the last few signs of the season as
