I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

Just got back (last night) from a wandering golf/beach trip to Hilton Head Island. Temperatures were about ten degrees below normal but there was some sun and blue skies.
For Scenic Sunday 
Didn’t see any Alligators but there were some turtles.
and on the off chance we didn’t hit the golf ball in the water and it landed on the green:
This video of the Blizzard of 1977 starts slow but is really interesting. ( Jimmy Carter was President)( The announcer says, “If your stranded in your car stay there don’t panic you could get killed out there.” “You will be rescued.”) ( Wind Chill between –40 & –60 degrees.) (29 Deaths)
Well we have snow and Gray/Grey skies in Ohio but nothing like the above video portrays. My wandering road trip is to warmer climes, Hilton Head S.C. where I hope to play some golf and do a little fishing. Accuweather says days high temps for the area should be high 50’s low 60’s… Puts a smile on my face.
Will be playing the Arthur Hill,Trent Jones, and Fazio golf courses at Palmetto dunes
Hope to take a lot of photos and see the sun and some blue sky.
A SCENIC SUNDAY post WAGNALLS MEMORIAL LIBRARY IN THE VILLAGE OF LITHOPOLIS,OHIO
Near Lancaster, Ohio is the village of Lithopolis (Litho) & (Polis) or village of stone so says their web site.
SO A LITTLE “STONE” MUSIC
“It's only a ROOM with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.”
“It's a jet on which I soar
to lands that exist no more.”
“Or a key with which I find
answers to questions crowding my mind.”
“Building my habit of learning and growing,
asking and researching till I reach knowing.”
“Here, I've been a mermaid and an elf
I've even learned to be more myself.”
“I think that I shall never see
a place that's been more useful to me. With encouraging kind friends with wit
Who tell me to dream big and never quit.It's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.”

A WATERY WEDNESDAY POST
Linda and I cross the river as we leave Harpers Ferry heading for Antietam Battlefield where The Bloodiest One Day Battle in American History occurred. It is late in the day so first let’s stop for dinner at a cafe in Shepherdstown West Virginia
We are tired after a long day so a stop at the Bavarian Inn with it’s scenic location overlooking the Potomac river where fog and water are the order of the evening. ( can’t see the river for the fog)
We are up early the next day heading for the battlefield where for the purpose of this post we will explore The Burnside Bridge. On Sept. 17, 1862 General Burnside and 12,000 Union soldiers met the Confederate soldiers, under the command of Brigadier General Robert Toombs. (Today some say the Bridge is haunted)
