B is for bottle

A wine bottle to be more specific.

Mr. Aitch and I drik wine…occasionally.  Most of our wine bottles are the typical green, brownish green, dark green, or very dark green.

The little bottle on the far right contains a special olive oil now.

We emptied these this morning. 

Just kidding.

A few years ago I saw a large wreath in one of our local restaurants with 2-3 beautiful red wine bottle, grape leaves and various hanging grapes on it.  I decided to make my own.

We bought the same wine and saved the empty bottle for my project.  I suppose I could have asked the restaurant to save some empties for me but what fun is that?

My wreath isn’t nearly as large as the one in the restaurant and only one wine bottle fit on it.

But I like it. 

And so did one of the teenage trick-or-treaters we had the other night.  (I whispered to her that the bottle was empty.)

Any suggestions on what to do with all our empty wine bottles?  Please leave suggestions in the comments!

My Friday

Some bloggers have a theme for each day of the week.  Not me.  I blog/post whenever I can or feel like it.  Right now, I’ve had two glasses of wine and the foresight to photograph two things that have significance to my life/day.

This is what I encountered this morning.  This photo was snapped with my phone about 100 feet from my house.  I think they were nibbling on the corn stalks wrapped around the street sign.

You can only see three deer but there were more.  By the time I stopped the car and got my phone out, the deer got spooked and started to move away from my car.

If you want to know what those lighted numbers mean on my dashboard: It’s 62 degrees Fahrenheit. I have 400 miles-till-empty in my gas tank.  (Just got it filled up yesterday.)  It’s 7:37 am.  The airbag is disengaged in the passenger seat as no one is sitting there.

This second photo is taken at the dinner table after my second glass of wine.

Don’t judge.

Yes, that’s my empty wine glass and twelve, count ’em, TWELVE wrappers from Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds and Toffee Nuggets.  In the background is the Mark Levin book, The Liberty Amendments.

I ate them all.

Mr. Aitch had none.

I just hope they don’t rebel.
