Yesterday I was driving west through Alabama. It was a little cold (in the 50s) and dreary, with cloudy skies and drizzling rain. Eventually, the rain stopped. As I traveled along the Natchez Trace in northeast Mississippi I was greeted by an ever-increasing array of green. Yes, it is true. I do believe that Spring has arrived – at least in parts of the south!
Note to Babs: I made a right turn before reaching Birmingham. Changed my mind about going to Pensacola! Are you surprised?
Note to anyone else: US Route 278 in Alabama (from Cullman to Hamilton) is not a road you want to take if you are in a hurry! Lots of hills and curves on that two-lane highway! I wasn't in a hurry so it was an enjoyable drive.
And, yes, I'm Back on the Road Again!!
Westward Ho!

LOVE the dogwoods! One of the most beautiful drives I ever made was through northern Alabama at just this time of year. That day the sun was shining. The dogwoods looked like lace and I must have stopped a dozen times. 27 years ago and it's still clear in my mind.
Happy trails.
I didn't think the Natchez Trace was on the way to Pensacola!! Beautiful pictures. It's still cold and rainy here but supposed to be pretty this weekend. I'm waiting for the next installment to see where you ended up :) Babs.
LOVED our ride on the Trace, only we were in a HUGE hurry (medical situation at home that happened once we were ON the Trace) and we barely stopped. No lovely dogwood photos like yours here. I love dogwoods, someday, hope to do that ride again, and have the time to STOP and SONY!!!
The pictures of dogwoods are beautiful! This is our 'blooming' time of year. If you travel I-20
stop in! The Azaleas and many other things are at their best in bloom! Your room is ready! Well I just remembered you don't travel interstates---if you are roaming on a country road near us--stop in!! Ruth
Becky, I don't even know what to say about that green picture. It makes my heart lurch, or something... like it's something I'm not sure I'll ever see again. Nothing green here in Michigan yet, we're still winter-bleak. I just want to crawl into that picture and inhale it!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
