The Difficulties of Snow


Hard to believe! Hickory, NC was gifted with 7+ inches beginning on Friday morning. It took many by surprise with few snowstorms recorded in the area before Christmas since the "old" days. SUVs tumbled into the ditch with the trusting vehicles following suit. The stores of bread and milk depleted quickly from the grocery shelves. These are the staples of the foothill's residents for a snowy interlude. Snow Cream must be created and consumed for breakfast which is mostly likely followed by eggs and livermush, another local savory staple.

Hickory Shows Off Its Artistry



Hickory is readying for the holidays. Not only are we considering which concert, play, or party we are going to attend but we are stepping back and looking at the simple pleasures of Western NC. The shedding of hardwoods remind us of our favorite sweaters hiding in their cedar chests.
