About Franklin's Clarks Chapel

January 12, 2012 and it still feels like Fall in the Mountains of Franklin, NC

It is suppose to snow here in Franklin, NC and surrounding areas. It is snowing all around me in places like Cowee, Burningtown and even in the town of Franklin. I live just south of town in the community of Clarks Chapel and have not seen a single flake yet.

Now this is the first time since I an remember that we have gotten this far into winter and the tempetures are still mild and it feels like Fall. Yes, Franklin, NC has had some cold mornings but it has been warming up to the 50s during the day. Don't mind that at all. I don't care for winter but its nothing like up north.

Macon County Franklin, NC does get snow in the winter a few times a year. It is very pretty to see but nicer to see it leave. We don't have snow tire we change into like up north. We don't have anyone come down our road and plow, its private gravel road. The main paved roads get scraped or salted first and if we are lucky it may be a day or two before they come back here. Even then I have to be able to get to the main road.

I brought all my work home and I am ready for it to snow in Franklin, NC. Where is it?

It's that time of the year once again to come on out and support our local Clarks Chapel Community Fire Department in Franklin, NC. This is their 38th Annual Celebrations and Fund Raiser!

The Clarks Chapel Fire & Rescue Department serves over 2,500 homes and business in our area district. They now have two stations that are in the service. The second station on Middle Skeenah Road expands their district to cover more homes for Insurance purposes which in turn lowers your home or business's cost of Insurance.

The Insurance rating of the Fire Dept. is now "rated a 6" If you live in the Clarks Chapel area, be sure you getting a credit rating of 6 for you home or business. It will save you a lot of money. To continue to reap these money saving credit the Fire Dept. must meet their financial obligations. This is why its so important for everyone to help support the Clarks Chapel Fire & Rescue when they can.

Wildlife in the neighborhood of Clarks Chapel, Franklin, NC

Last Saturday night I was going out and saw three sets of deer on the way to town. I think they know when hunting season is over. I love watching them. These pictures were taken Friday morning on my out of the driveway. When they saw me, they all started running toward me. It was the strangest thing. I told them if they could just wait until I got my camara out I would feature them on Active Rain... :O)

I don't know how many wild Turkey there were here but it seemed like at least a dozen or so. As soon as they seen me they hustled out there. This was in the cow pasture next to my house.

Taken out my window.

I tried to sneak out the front door to get a better shot and they all started running.

Then there is Mr. Skunk who has taken up residence at our house this year and he is a big one. I have catured him on film yet.
