Christmas in Town

Today I ventured out to get my windshield replaced in my car after a rock pit had spread horizontally across the window due to the cold weather. I decided to have a look around the town and do a bit of shopping while it was being replaced. I carried only one bag so that certainly limited many purchases!

I saw a couple of sights that I found amusing:

A carved wooden Mountie who looked frozen solid ~ and sported a "high hat" ~



another white headed creature ~



and Tubby Santa with Rudolph





Snow was piled up everywhere ~



After I'd taken myself out for lunch at a new restaurant ~



I walked some more and then headed to the library where I picked up a couple of books, and read until it was time to get my car ~ I nearly nodded off, it was so warm and cosy in there, not like outside ~



The street lamps came on ~



I picked up my car, stopped for some groceries and back home I went to find that the grader had scraped our street and left a foot of hard crusty snow across the driveway! I managed to "hop" the car over it, and then dug it out!

Our street, with the big grader tracks ~



I made some shortbread and a steamed pudding after supper ~ and tomorrow is Christmas Eve and it's ...........




snowing ! ! !
