Monday Mural – February 7, 2022
….thanks to Sami for hosting Monday Mural https://sami-colourfulworld.blogspot.com/2022/02/monday-mural-east-west-design-2.html
In the neighbourhood we have utility boxes that are normally grey and boring but lately artists when bee commissioned to paint them. Here are a few in my neighbourhood.
Lucille is an Odd Duck….
…or should I say bird?
Lucille may be odd looking but she brings a smile to my face as does most of the art that Deniz Seker makes. She is one of the artists that is a member of WAAC and one of the first people that I was instantly drawn to when I first joined the Women’s Art Association. Thanks Deniz for introducing Lucille to us at the Collage Show.

Coloured Snow – Square Odds
…thanks to Becky B for hosting February Squares, https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/03/the-square-odds-3/
Clearly the snow is coloured by humans and I suspect there are children in this house who had a wonderful time creating these colourful discs of ice to add to the snow bank on their front yard.
New Flower (February 3, 2022) – Succulent
…wish I had better luck growing these…I’m probably overwatering
Sweet Trios – February 3, 2022
….a trio of sugary goodness at the mall for this week’s Thursday Trios
If you have photos of trios why not share them on your blog. Leave your link in my comments section or copy my link and post it into your blog. I will get a pingback and will be sure to respond.
Walking in -13 Degree Weather
…surprisingly pleasant
Last week the temperatures dipped well below zero but the sun was shining and winds were minimal. I put on a pair of long johns, my big blue parka, my scarf, hat and my warmest mitts and off I went. I was surprisingly warm. I invested in a good pair of winter hiking boots a few years ago and I’ve never experienced cold feet.
I kept my phone in the pocket of my coat and I worried that the cold might affect the battery but I was able to take a lot of photos and it held up well against the cold. Here are a few shots of things that I saw on my walk that day. Enjoy!
February Squares are Back

Definition of odd
1: differing markedly from the usual, ordinary, or accepted : PECULIAR a very odd way to show gratitude
2a: not regular, expected, or planned; worked at odd jobs b: encountered or experienced from time to time : OCCASIONAL manages to get in some reading at odd moments 3a: being without a corresponding (see CORRESPONDING sense 1) mate; an odd shoe
3: left over after others are paired or grouped; came without his wife and thus turned out to be the odd guest at the party (2): separated from a set or series; had in his possession only two or three odd volumes of the original 12-volume set
4a: being any of the integers (such as −3, −1, +1, and +3) that are not divisible by two without leaving a remainder b: marked by an odd number of units needed; two odd-length boards, one of three feet and one of five feet
My first odd square is a peculiar sight – colourful flowers coming from the snow. Of course they are fake flowers. We don’t get flowers in February in Canada.
Wordless Wednesday – Groundhog Day (2.2.22)
