The clock tower in the background is on the Bedford Courthouse and the little building in front is part of the Bedford Historical Slave Foundation.

Today I am thankful for a few days of spring like weather with temps near 70 and I have even seen some Forsythia in bloom this week! Today though the weather dips down to 38 with a wind advisory...30 degrees less than yesterday, ugh! Oh well, at least the weekend jumps back up into the 60's again! I can hear the wind whipping around as I type this! Linking up with Michelle's Thankful Thursday

Walking around Bedford a couple of weeks ago we walked past the Historical Slave Foundation which I've shown you HERE before...I walked up to the door to see if there had been any progress when I noticed this neat old mail box :)

I know I was supposed to show more on the old school but haven't had a chance to look it up yet so maybe next week!

This pretty house is just right around the corner from the Avenel House. I love the Betsy Ross Flag...Linking with Mersad's Through My Lens

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!

Today Braden and Dalton turn 15! I'm still in denial...I still see them like:

(2009)
It's been a great 15 years...Hearing I was having twins was a shock of course but a blessing I couldn't have ever imagined! Today (like everyday) I am thankful that I was picked to be their mom! They are taking the day off from school, then I will take them to pick out a couple of video games they've been wanting and then we will take them out to dinner to Kabuki which they've requested.

I will also be thankful if that groundhog predicts an early spring ;)

While the boys and I were walking around Bedford on Sunday we found this cute little pig behind the Bower Center For The Arts ...he sure looks like he's "Loving Life" doesn't he?!
