"Lynn, those things don't look floofy or furry or warm. What
kinda animals are they? I don't see any kitties and I know I would
not be out in that cold!"

at home one cold day to see the Winter Festival in
a neighboring town. There were lot of ice statues in front
of the small businesses. A few food trucks in the area
and a few window watchers along. We went to get out
for a bit. We've gone before when it was so
warm they were melting. Not this year!
I did go into the shoe store and get a new pair of
hiking boots. This store is the Real McCoy. Run by the
same family for decades.
The door is inset and the side display windows
hold lots of shoes. The shelves run up to the tin
ceiling on two walls.

| Screech Owl This owl has been in and out of the bird/squirrel box a few times this winter. The song birds sometimes let us know she's in there during the day by mobbing her entrance. Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment. It is much appreciated. |

Oh! Wow! Those statues look great...especially the
eagle...The penguin made me laugh..how does 'ALL'
the fish he eats, stay in his tummy...! :).
The owl looks funny to...must be a baby one, to fit
inside a bird box, the song birds need'nt worry, it'll
grow quite quickly, and then they can have their bird
box back....HeHe! Bless! :O).

Thank you very much. These ice sculptures are absolutely magnificent.
Nice walk that calls for a comfortable armchair for dessert.
Hug for you

Those ice statues look great. Very often during cruises some of the galley staff make them. They carve them with various size knives though.
It is always good to get back home to the warm and to Precious who patiently awaits your return.
That is a lovely photo of the owl. He/she has found a good place to shelter.
The ice statues are terrific! What fun, to get out and away for a bit. The new hiking boots are a bonus!
Precious, you have some pretty awesome kitty TV to watch, with that owl!
Stay warm and cosy!
P. S. When I got up this morning, I checked the weather app on my phone right away, looked, and said out loud, "Oh, it's mild out." It speaks volumes when that's my first reaction to minus 4C, windchill minus 11C. 🙄😄
The penguin is my favourite, of course. Nice to get some new boots and even nicer to get back again to Precious and a warm home.
Our town had an ice sculpture fair, but these were carved by dudes with all manner of tools. It was bitterly cold, so I made the circuit and got back into my warm car!
That's a screech owl; love their hoots!
Those are very nice ice sculptures but warm inside the house is always best sweet Precious! That owl is a hoot.
Precious thank you for giving Lynn your prior approval to visit the ice sculptures. They are beautiful. MOL MOL waiting does make one hungry.
I don't think I've seen a screech owl box around here. Too urban I guess.
Hugs and Happy weekend. I know you are eager to use you new hiking boots

Me again! I can't remember if I thanked you for your card which arrived with Cecilia's on Monday. Belated thanks if I didn't, or double thanks if I did!

oh my those sculptures are amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for wishing Lenny a happy birthday!!
I figured the sculptures couldn't have been chiselled, but they are pretty neat nonetheless. I agree, though, that it's nice to come home where it's warm.
It looks too cold out there for us Florida kitties.
Those statues are wonderful Lynn. I remember eating in a restaurant one time when there was a huge ice sculpture in the middle of the room surrounded by all sorts of sea food on a huge table. It was a buffet style where you could help yourself. The ice sculpture was melting & I had to keep going back to check as it really bothered me. I think it was summer time & the heat was making it melt quite quickly.
Precious I'll just be you love it when Mum gets home. Blackie always stands up when I get home from anywhere, even if I've only been gone a short time to feed neighbors pets ... he thinks "here comes the food truck & I am going to get fed (again)". Have a great weekend - I am off to the garden before it gets really hot here. x0x
What a fun post! We love the ice molds!
You look so cozy in your tent. Scoot over & I’ll join you❣️ Rocky
Those ice sculptures are amazing!
Nice ice sculptures. It amazes me that people can make those. I would not want to waste time on something that doesn't last long. Brody wishes he could keep you warm Precious. XO
Hi Lynn, Those are beautiful ice sculptures. Glad the temperatures stayed cold so they wouldn't melt. I love the picture of the owl in the bluebird box. I had one just like it - where the squirrels made the hole bigger so they could hang out inside. We are experiencing super nice spring like weather here. Have a nice weekend. Keep warm and take care.
Oh how fun! I love small town special events!
Those ice statues are marvelous! I live in Ottawa, Ontario Canada and we have ice statues at our Winter Festival. They are carved on a canal which is also used for ice skating.

I hope Precious was fed on time, and I adore owls. We may have some in the woods out back, but mostly we just see squirrels.
The ice statues are amazing and as for Mr. Owl, well, he has to eat, too. It's just the way of it.
Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
These are pretty cool. Dad used to work in a restaurant where the chef chiseled ice sculptures by hand for special events.
Even from a mould those statues are a delight to see. Hopefully each will last a while yet. And if you bought new shoes and boots, they last too!
Lovely to see you napping, Precious. The warm is where I'd be, especially if an owl was around :)

Those are pretty ice statues! But we agree with Precious, we'd rather be in the warm!
Purrs,
The Chans
Wow, those ice sculptures are beautiful!
But you, Precious, are even more beautiful, besides being soft and warm and furry.
Wow the ice figures are amazing.
What wonderful Cubes/Sculptures! They are so clear! Very impressive. And that sure sounds like a cool store. And a winter festival...that would be fun! They have a few around here, but Mom has not been in years...purrhaps she will take Nutmeg to one net winter! I, Marvelous, would be like you Precious, waiting at home (and complaining about being hungry). That Owl house is pretty cool! Keep being awesome! Your #1 Fan Boy, Marvelous Marv
Good grief! The owl lives in there? I
would be concerned an evil squirrel would bust in and devour me.
Precious, did you go to a stylist and get your onesie lightened?
