There was a recent cold snap, and it actually snowed and things froze over (quite the feat for August in the northern hemisphere)! I thought it would be a great place to play some ice hockey and knew just the place to hike too—a gorgeous crystal clear lake tucked way back in the woods. I donned my hockey mask as well as my frugal clothes (in case they got messy), antique boots (great for the trek), tube socks, and my messenger bag to carry my supplies. I brought my axe to chop down any branches in the way. Before I left, I knocked on a few villager’s door to see if they wanted to come play. As soon as they took one look at me hockey mask and holding my axe, they claimed they were “busy” and slammed the door. Bummer! Regardless, I took off for my hike.
Things warmed up considerably on the way, and it grew dark and began to rain. Thankfully, I had my trusty lantern with me help see the path. I chopped down a small tree along the way and brought the stump to place my lantern on. When I arrived, all the snow had melted and the lake ice had thawed. Thankfully I had my life ring, just incase. Defeated, I was about to head back when I saw a skeleton skull peaking out of my bag. I guess I had packed my skeleton model (affectionately named Jason) and not realized it. So weird! I made the best of things and played some field hockey with Jason before heading home.
