Crossword	Date	Comment
Small house	8 February 2022, 18:00	No, in a blizzard you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
Hibiscus	7 February 2022, 23:14	It was good. Then I stopped trying to see the extended anther/pistil/stamen/whatever as a stem and it was great.
Night flier	7 February 2022, 21:29	I was thinking this was a very sorry attempt at a chaise longue.
Cat	7 February 2022, 18:41	In heraldry: passant regardant.
Lizard	7 February 2022, 18:36	You stole my comment! But when it didn't work, it was a nice surprise.
Lion	7 February 2022, 18:21	Not the best one of this subject I've seen, but given the tiny size it's fabulous.
Hamburger	5 February 2022, 18:12	Exactly.
Cow	5 February 2022, 17:53	Are you sure about the breed? I'm Guernsey with my own eyes.
Doberman	4 February 2022, 19:35	It could have been any one of a number of canines until just the last few pixels, at which point the breed was unmistakable.
Elephant with mom	4 February 2022, 19:18	Oh, I missed the little one!
Explosion	4 February 2022, 18:28	Too damn many 1s to make it anything but tedious. However, I've never contributed a single puzzle; it's a difference of opinion that allows for horse racing; and I'm a grumpy old man who has reached the stage where I complain about everything. Or, as my mother used to say, if we all agreed on everything, think what a haggis shortage there would be.
Cat	3 February 2022, 18:22	You keep on with this nonsense and I'm going to give you the cold shoulder.
Grim Reaper	3 February 2022, 7:04	Much better title than "wizard holding flag at hole on golf course".
Fox	3 February 2022, 5:19	It looks more like the usual portrayals of Anubis to me.
Pigeons	2 February 2022, 17:09	You may not know, being over there in Yorkshire, but the state of Utah is two states away from the nearest ocean. And not our dinky states either. But the state bird of Utah is the seagull. The reason? There was once a plague of locusts devastating the Utahan crops. But a flock (or a hundred flocks or something) of seagulls appeared, apparently having followed those yummy locusts and gobbled them all up, saving Utah from the inevitable famine.
Kokopelli (Goddess of Fertility)	2 February 2022, 1:20	That's a quarter OR a third, not a twelfth.
Kokopelli (Goddess of Fertility)	2 February 2022, 1:19	I knew the answer maybe a quarter of a third of the way in, but it was really nice to watch it take shape.
Dandelion	31 January 2022, 20:05	I love the French name, given that it's a diuretic: pis-en-lit.
Hot air balloon	31 January 2022, 1:57	The pattern relieved me of some truly tedious counting. Very nice.
Cube	29 January 2022, 18:55	It does work a little better in the thumbnail though.
Cube	29 January 2022, 18:54	Interesting composition; but even allowing for the limitations of pixellation those sides are neither equal nor straight. But I agree with Celandine, so maybe the toy is made of really malleable plastic and the kid has it in a state of torsion.
Berry cake	29 January 2022, 5:53	I thought it was a banana split, but the colors were not at all appetizing. Much better as a cake.
Cake	28 January 2022, 18:34	Just found out it's my nephew's birthday. I think he's forty. How depressing--I think that means I'm old.
Fox	27 January 2022, 5:49	My best guess was fire, but once I saw the title it's unmistakeable. Beautiful work!
Doughnut	26 January 2022, 21:39	I'm having a problem seeing the hole thing.
Kangaroo	26 January 2022, 18:59	Wallaby darned!
Tea time!	26 January 2022, 18:40	I thought teabags were heretical.
Birdies	26 January 2022, 18:23	Well, you see, when two people love each other ...
Hedgehog	26 January 2022, 7:45	Somewhere between 80 and 90% done, I knew I had it. Betty Boop.
Lamp	26 January 2022, 7:28	It is. Just a translation issue.
Wolf	25 January 2022, 18:09	My best guess was some sort of leaping marine life. The truth is much better.
Stork	25 January 2022, 0:24	And remember, like the T-shirt says, it doesn't do to piss off old people "because a life sentence is less and less of a deterrent."
Ostrich	24 January 2022, 19:45	I was sure it was going to be one of those Empire stalking thingies from Star Wars.
Stork	24 January 2022, 19:27	Any time I start thinking that way, something comes along to bring me back to reality.
Lion	23 January 2022, 7:43	My, what great big teeth you have!
Minion	23 January 2022, 7:31	I prefer minions to Pokemon.
Cat	23 January 2022, 7:21	I thought maybe it was a CATtle car.
The little mermaid	22 January 2022, 22:21	The red and the brown? Not that close for me; but I think the two brown dots accomplished nothing.
Hatching!	22 January 2022, 19:49	It looks like a big blue egg: you can see where it's cracking as the "Hatching!" begins. But then what are the four white ovoids?
Giraffe	22 January 2022, 2:40	Pretty good; but the exophthalmic left eye disturbs me.
Medal	21 January 2022, 6:18	Yes!
Love letter	20 January 2022, 20:54	The two-color outline doesn't work for me; but if it's going to be done, there are a couple of squares in line 4 that ought to be yellow in order to be consistent. Still, compared to my submissions (total = 0), it's fantastic.
Bottle	20 January 2022, 17:32	Clearly I have a different mindset. I was thinking a lovely flavor.
Box	19 January 2022, 18:56	"Casket"'s sort of archaic in this sense. Looks like an emerald necklace and a turquoise ring on the right. Maybe all that blue is also meant to be jewelry (or jewellery, if that's where you're from). But I agree--the picture is much too busy to be readily seen.
Lightning McQueen	19 January 2022, 18:34	Disney/Pixar's "Cars".
Ornament	19 January 2022, 1:43	I frequently have trouble with colors that are (IMHO) too close; but I find color #5 very much brighter than color #2, and so easy to tell apart.
Waffle cone	18 January 2022, 21:49	Blue raspberry?
Ladybug	18 January 2022, 19:34	I did the greens first and was sure it was a Christmas wreath. But then I noticed the pattern in the black and knew what it was before my first red square. (Not to be confused with Red Square.)
Fireplace	18 January 2022, 19:22	I can feel the heat.
Wolf	18 January 2022, 19:14	You can't trust anybody anymore.
