Our March snow
















We were suppose to get a " dusting" of snow today. HA! I don't think the weathermen can tell anything about " snow" up here. We woke up at 6:00 and it was coming down like crazy! Of course, when it snows, the first thing Chuck and I do is walk around the land and take pictures. We came back to the TT and were having our coffee, when Chuck says" we should go to the forest to see what it looks like". Sooooo, I gulp my coffee down and get busy making some sandwiches for lunch and then I go and put on layers and layers of clothes. Off we go! I made Chuck swear he would drive slow and not " gaulk" out the side windows ( he does that all the time and runs us off the road) or he had to let me drive. He promised. It's scary driving through the main road in the forest because that is the road that all the loggers use with their big trucks and they go like a bat out of hell. As we were driving on the main road, an SUV was laying on it's side in a ditch. Guess he took one of the many curves too fast. Any ways.....when we turned off the main road, the scene just got prettier and prettier. I don't think I have ever been in a more beautiful place ( other than Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland) in my whole life. The tree branches were hanging so far down from the weight of the snow. One of our favorite places in the forest is a lookout, where you can see the whole area of Moulton. It must have gotten the most snow. We played in about four inches. After driving down the road for awhile, we went back to the lookout to have our lunch. Meantime, it must be every one's favorite place because several trucks and cars had been there. While we were there for the second time, two other couples stopped and talked to us. They introduced themselves to us and told us where they live....lol. That is what everyone does up here. Chuck and I made a funny little snowman and everyone enjoyed him. One couple even had me take their picture by him. It sure was a very different day than what we would have had if we was still living in Florida. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
