We just returned today from our trip to Alabama to visit some of our family. Both my husband and I have relatives in Alabama so we make the trip every year in August.
Alabama is a pretty state and we love visiting up there! We both love the country!
I've picked out a few Mellow Yellow scenes to post.
These pasture scenes with horses are at 3 different spots in the areas where we were visiting folks and just riding around in the country! I noticed each of those pastures had the same yellow wildflowers growing where the horses were grazing on the lush green grass.

These first ones are next to my brother's place in Priceville. This is my brother, Ray, feeding the neighbor's horse some apples that had fallen off his tree in a wind storm the night before! I guess my sister-in-law has been busy making applesauce out of those apples after we left!
I love the little yellow wildflowers growing there!
These last 2 pictures are similar scenes....different horses-same little flowers.

Always on our way home we make a point of going to Springville to visit my Dad's grave. (and many more of my relatives on both my mom and my dad's side of our family) I always take Daddy yellow flowers.

Your dad has been gone a long time, and he didn't live a long life. That must have been difficult for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming, AC.
ReplyDeleteYes, my dad had a short life. I've always felt sad thinking how much he missed. I was just starting out with my young family and only my son(4 yrs.then) has any memories of his granddad. One of my girls was just a year old and the other not yet born.
I stumbled by and glad I found you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers you have for the grave. Such a short time we have. I feel connected somewhat even though in Prince Edward Island my dad who is in a home now bought a house in Ocala Florida many years ago, it is still there run down, broken into and not kept up. I always loved Ocala, the name, the place and oh the flea markets. Hope to hear from you some day
