Sweet Home Alabama, Where the Skies are so Blue!

These pictures were taken of the valley outside of Wedowee.  For all of you who have left Alabama.  The old saying "Home is where the heart is."  At my hubby's class reunion, many of his classmates had traveled all over the country and Europe and lived in  many places.  When it came to retiring, many of them moved back to Alabama.  There is no place like home no matter where you lived, worked, or traveled.

"Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you."

Red Alabama Garden Bed

Does the Letter A stand for University of Alabama or just the State of Alabama?  Is this a Wedowee tradition to use beds for gardens or a Alabama thing?

Early Morning Sunrise at Lake Wedowee

We decided to go to Wedowee for breakfast and stopped at Lake Wedowee for some early morning pictures.  We caught the sunrise and the stillness of the lake with no motorboats or people around.  It was a looking glass of blue tranquility.
