I did not exactly have a Scattered Saturday, but during my gyrations, I thought I might come up with a blog post. I did not care to drive anywhere; there was not a lot of snow accumulation, but I didn’t trust the roads since we had started out with rain. Walking would be all right, I thought. I wanted to get to the post office by two to mail out my usual Saturday post cards.
As I walked, I saw something odd at the side of the road. I couldn’t tell what it was, till I got up close. It was a snowman head! Not of actual snow, but one of those lawn decorations of wire and plastic. I looked around but did not see a headless snowman anywhere. I did not want to leave the head to be run over countless times and ruined, so I picked it up and carried it along. Then I had the idea to stick it in one of the remaining snowbanks.
He fits right in!
And on I went to the post office, where I realized I had lost the glove I took off to take the picture. Well, I needed the exercise of more walking so retraced my steps till I found the glove. Phew! It was cold out, so gloves and hat were needed.
I went on to get some money out of the ATM at Cliff’s (to plug a local business) (yes, Cliff’s has many locations throughout the region, but it is a family-owned business based locally). Then I was right across from Valley Wine and Liquor (another local business), so I went in for the Saturday wine tasting, which ran from one to four. I did not purchase any wine, since I was walking and wine bottles can get pretty heavy, but I made notes of what to purchase later.
Regular readers know I like to drink wine.
This picture was actually taken at a previous date. I wanted to show off my new bracelet from One Of A Kind Designs Handcrafted Jewelry by Debora Bruce. It is a Facebook based business, run by a friend I have known since elementary school. She makes some lovely pieces. I must purchase more.
I did some more walking in the cold and ended up at the Elks Lodge, where I enjoyed a glass of wine. I took a picture of a fellow Elk who was nicely dressed for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
I think he had been golfing.
I myself was wearing a little green but failed to take a selfie. Maybe today when I am out and about. Since we all seem to be celebrating St. Patrick’s day all weekend. Or I could wear a toga, because today is the Ides of March. You know, Julius Caesar? In any case, I have gotten a lengthy (for me) blog post out of my Saturday activities. If you read the whole thing, I thank you.
