I'm dreaming of a white Thanks-giv-ing...

Sometimes it's all too easy to bash the state of Alabama: rednecks, homophobes, possum, horrendous schools, no lotteries and not being able to buy alcohol on Sunday. BUT, one thing I have loved about this state since moving here three years ago is the scenic cotton fields blooming this time of year – it looks like miles and miles of snow when you squint just right. (No snow tires required).
