Oh, my, what a beautiful day. It started with a beautiful sunrise ...
... with warm sunshine throughout the day. I think it got into the low 70s today. It was an "open up the sunroof and let the sun shine in" kind of day.
But as a friend reminded me on Facebook, 20 years ago today (March 15, 1993), this is what we encountered--SNOW! That evening we met our friends in Mobile for supper and the chatter was about the blizzard that was headed our way. We pooh-poohed the whole idea of there being a blizzard in South Alabama, but on the drive home, the rain on the roof went silent and we were soon in a white-out. Talk about nervous, we were 20 miles from home, had never driven in snow, and found ourselves sliding over iced bridges and wondering if we should pull over and wait it out for the night. The four-lane was soon reduced to a two-lane highway. Luckily, we found a semi continuing it's journey north and we followed behind it. Safely home, we all crawled into the same bed and listened to the cracking trees breaking beneath the heavy snow throughout the night. When we awoke, we found a winter wonderland. So fun.
Here is the same swing Bobb was napping on from my Saturday picture.
And, of course, our church across the road.
Who says we never see excitement in South Alabama?

I know you are glad these are pictures from the past and not today....
They are gorgeous shots. Your editing is beautiful....
Laura, you always capture such beautiful light, and these are surely no exception. So nice.
As beautiful as the snow is,I do hope you don't get any now.I also hope that we are done with the snow but that may not be the case.
Quite a contrast!
Last March 17th we had an unheard of 60+ degree day...today we will not be above mid-20's. Last year was nice! It is amazing to see two very different shots with totally different weather,(the swing) and realize what an amazing world we live in. Glad it is so warm and pleasant there...I'm counting the days until spring!
Glad you don't have to deal with that snow too often. It had to have been quite a storm to dump that on Alabama!
That first image of the sunrise just made me gasp! So many heartfelt, beautiful images! All of the beautiful flowers and the green grass.... it does a winter bound heart good! ;)
Although, yesterday, our world was all brown mud - the beginning of and early spring and beautiful to us but, this morning, six inches of snow has fallen - so far! So thanks for taking me someplace warmly hospitable!
