Odd Sentiments – Square Odds

….found these ‘sentiments’ hanging in the bushes down at the park

Sentiments is the word a passerby used when I pointed out these wreaths hanging from the shrubs at the edge of the park. What I found even more odd was that each wreath had a ring either hanging on the wreath or hanging on a branch close by. I have no idea what the sentiment symbolizes or whom it represents. Has anyone out there seen something like this before and do you know what they represent?

Funky Frog Friday is Back – February 18, 2022

….Tonguely and the gang are at the Olympics

Tonguely’s bobsled team reminds me of the Jamaican team back in 1988. They captured the world’s attention and gave it their all. Now they are back in 2022 in China. Good luck guys. Tonguely looks like he’s having fun but I’m not sure he understands the skill involved in this dangerous sport.

Another Odd Window Display – Square Odds

….February 17, 2022…thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odds https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/17/the-square-odds-17/

This is not a store window for a pet store, toy store or sports store. It’s like the window dresser stopped in mid-stream and walked off the job.

Random Acts of Kindness Day

….and in Canada it is Random Acts of Kindness Week

Kevin is back at his drawing board but in the basement apartment and not in his studio. After I did all the cooking for the last 10 days Kevin treated me to a dinner last night that he managed to cook. He’s doing it again tonight. He just can’t help himself. He loves cooking so much that he climbs up the stairs from downstairs. I’m sure that he’s calling it part of his physiotherapy and he seems to be managing well.

On the drawing board, Kevin’s mice returned to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day. Did you reach out to someone today to do a random act of kindness? If not, you have till Sunday to do something kind. For that matter you don’t need a special day or week to perform a random act of kindness. Give it a try.

Abandoned Sneakers in the Snow – Odd?

thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Odds – https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/16/the-square-odds-16/

It’s one thing to find abandoned shoes in the good weather but when you see two pair of relatively new running shoes nestled in the snow it makes you wonder what the owners were thinking. It turns out that these were next to an outdoor skating rink but I still found it odd that the shoes were left outside when there is an indoor facility next to the rink where you can change and store boots and shoes.

Soon after I took this photo the owners came by and quickly retrieved their sneakers. I’m sure they thought it was odd that I was taking a photo of their shoes.
