A recent photo challenge is the Photographing Public Art Challenge (PPAC) hosted by Cee and Marsha. Yesterday I checked out the Uptown Art Week event where artists are adding to the murals found around this Chicago neighborhood. Here are a few works in progress.

    This a fabulous. I love that you got to catch the artists in the act. How cool is that? The middle one is definitely colorful, but somehow I love the cat (I feel like I should know him) like he has dug out a place in column as his home. Very clever. Thanks for taking part this week. :)

  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car. With that in mind I found these at the Library of Congress. Women's Suffrage Scout Car, 1913 Harris & Ewing, photographer.  WOMAN SUFFRAGE. SCOUT CAR . United States Washington D.C.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation. She still plays, but I never learned. (I do have one friend from high school who joined the high school bridge club. Now I wish I had.) Here's what I found while searching the Library of Congress archives. Opper, Frederick Burr, Artist.  McKinley has almost all the chips; - but the game is young, yet / F.Opper . , 1894.

Weekend Coffee Share

  If we were having coffee, I'd have you over and offer you some honey citron tea that I got at an Asian grocery store. Give it a try. But if it's not your thing, I've got tea and coffee. You'd be able to see that it's been gray and rainy out, which is way I loved going to The Garfield Park Conservatory with my friend Patti. Timely - Peace for Ukraine It's so energizing to visit a greenhouse or conservatory when the weather's gloomy. On Thursday I made Chinese food for my parents, sister and sister-in-law. My sister was here on business from Utah so we got to see her. The food wasn't as good as the first Chinese dinner I made last month. I'm not quite sure why. I've started my taxes and am doing some spring cleaning to declutter. I want to get rid of the papers I don't need which seem to proliferate.
