I left two Qurans at a cozy rest stop just inside the Alabama State lines. There was a lovely picnic area surrounded by white flowering trees. It was a happy, cozy, little place and it made me smile.
The drive through Alabama was long, but it was also the prettiest stretch of road thus far.
The highway was decorated with flowering trees, I believe most were Mimosas, and this made the drive a lot more pleasant.
These trees are reminiscent of my childhood. When I was in 4th grade I went to Alabama to spent the summer with my grandmother and great grandmother. I raved about the trees then, and I am still in love with them today. My great grandmother would stop along the side of the dirt road near their humble home and let me get out to pick the flowers and take photos of these gorgeous trees with their pink little flowers.
There's a special kind of beauty about Alabama and you can feel it in the air. Even the sun shines brighter in the "Heart of Dixie".
Salam for now.
