Description

The next time yoursquo;re in the South; enjoying that famous Southern hospitality on a covered porch; be sure to look up. Yoursquo;ll see that most porch ceilings here are often painted Carolina Blue; a color that is said to chase away evil spirits known as ldquo;haintsrdquo; and also keeps flying insects at bay. For the Southern girls who grew up on those porches; it was also where they were schooled in the finer points of a well-lived life. Porches served many purposes in the home. On some days; they were gracious outdoor living rooms when company dropped by. On others; they were a lonely outpost after a scolding. But most of all; our porches are where we learned the ins and outs of ladylike behavior; the wonders of linen; cotton; and other natural fibers to keep us fresh as a daisy on hot Southern summer days; and the wisdom of remaining polite even when you felt like exploding all over the place with a sassy comeback to insults both real and imagined.
