Heading out to dinner last night (missing Nick who was downstairs getting ready and Christian who had to work :( )

2)

This happened this week...I think on Tuesday because it was super windy...strong, STRONG winds...Thankfully the elderly neighbor that lives behind us came up and told me "a tree fell on your fence and squashed it so your dogs can walk right out"...I went and checked and sure enough, they could have walked right out if they wanted...thank goodness they didn't and I'm so thankful that man came and told me because I never go down into that part of the yard so who knows when I would have noticed...
I called Nick and he came home and cut the tree up and him and the boys blocked it with a piece of plywood for now until we can fix it this weekend...until then the dogs have to be supervised outside because I don't know how sturdy that is!

3)

While down there I noticed a couple of more trees that fell but didn't do anymore damage to the fence...this one was kind of small...

4)

This one kind of split in a weird way but I think it was mostly held together by vines anyway...

5)

A random picture of Bedford...we had just parked the car and gotten out and a bunch of birds flew right over there in the corner...what kind of birds are those that fly in groups of a million?...anyways I just kind of like the gritty look of this area and thought it should be a black and white...so I did just that ;)

I apologize for running late but I hope you will still play along! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others!! Have a great weekend!

On Saturday the boys had a track meet in Lynchburg. Along the way I spotted this tree on the hill and just really liked it. We were a little early so I drove over to Biscuitville and bought them each a chicken biscuit and a sweet tea for breakfast and then I said, "lets go on a photo shoot and kill time" haha...they didn't mind since they were eating and I wanted to go back and get a picture of this tree :)

And yes, it was also as cold as it looks...freezing rain and just yucky!

Linking up with Mersad's Through My Lens

Winter Tree

Off my back deck one afternoon last week. I thought it looked like the limbs were holding the sun :)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...the long weekend flew by!

Yay, Christian's root canal was easy peasy. It took about an hour and a half and after all the numbness wore off he felt fine! Phew, what a relief!

"Just touching that old tree was truly moving to me because when you touch these trees, you have such a sense of the passage of time, of history. It's like you're touching the essence, the very substance of life." Kim Novak
