My lilacs are blooming, my hydrangeas are up. And the roses are budding! I am so ready for spring.

This word also has a chemistry related definition, used to describe the process of a substance loosing moisture and turning into a fine powder, but I like the first one better.

Mellifluous is also a pleasant word to say! I love that the Latin translates almost literally to 'flows like honey' 🍯

I‘m enjoying this book SO very much, and have already learned quite a bit. That being said, here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice: agouti. I‘m referring to the coloration, but an agouti is also a type of wild rodent (where the name for the coloration came from). Here‘s a Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agouti_(coloration)

Pronounced TUR-Shuh in Irish or TOOR-shuh in Scottish I think many of us are experiencing this in a deep way.

The antidote is to find joy, gratitude, etc.

My daughter sent me this link today and it was the perfect antidote. President Obama telling the story of one woman‘s voice energizing him, a room and a movement. Fire it up! Ready to go!

Deblovestoread Shout out to Edith Childs who was the woman who started it! 1w
TheBookHippie My grandson 11 asked me what to yell so people would yell back - So he hollered at the top of his voice “ TELL ME WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE” in a crowd of 3000 plus people the 200 closest to us replied “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.” A lady who was 92 in a wheelchair later stopped us to say she now had hope, because it was a child‘s voice and adults answered him. Yes I cried. I was a puddle. 1w
