It‘s raining outside, I‘ve got hot chocolate, the blanket right out of the dryer, and a lovely book. It‘s a perfect afternoon.

Do I have 10 different rain related words saved in my notes app? No comment.

CatLass007 Good morning! 2d

CBee @CatLass007 good morning! I grew up on canned peas but once I tried fresh, I never wanted canned again! Same with asparagus! 2d

CatLass007 My Mom used to tell a story that I don‘t remember happening but it sounds like me. When I was in daycare we couldn‘t get up from the lunch table until we cleaned our plates. When Mom came to pick me up after she got off work, I was still sitting at the table eating my peas. With. My. Knife. One. Pea. At. A. Time.🤣 2d

Bookwormjillk These are fresh in my garden now and my daughter can‘t get enough. I‘ll have to let her know. 2d

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! BTW, I love snow 🫛 💚 2d

TheBookHippie I love sugar snap peas!!! Yummmm. 2d

Amiable I like snow peas, but my tongue is completely and utterly unable to pronounce French words! 😄 2d

dabbe @Amiable Try this: mahnge-TOO (don't mind if I do!) 2d

dabbe The only way I can eat frozen or canned peas is in a salad with lots of dressing. 🤣 2d

willaful @Bookwormjillk I grow them too and can't wait. I eat them raw! 2d

BookmarkTavern Yum! I love sugar peas! 2d

CBee @CatLass007 wow, that is some serious dedication to peas 😂😂 2d

CBee @Bookwormjillk yum! 2d

CBee @Amiable ha! I do okay. My husband says I pronounce German fairly well which is a major feat 😂 2d

CBee @dabbe perfect 🤩 2d

Amiable @CBee German is way easier for me — my husband jokes that I inherited the “German gargle” from my ancestors because I can pronounce those harsh sounds much better than the French ones! 😄 2d

CatLass007 More like serious dedication to no peas.😝😂😂 2d

CBee @Amiable ha! The German gargle 😂😂 I‘ll have to tell hubby this 2d

CBee @CatLass007 true. I think that was what I meant actually 😂🤪 2d

CatLass007 I figured. It‘s weird. I like split pea soup. But it has flavor and canned peas just don‘t. 2d

A Ghanaian concept, the word is expanded into the proverb “se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi.”

Sankofa is the understanding that only by knowing your (personal, cultural, national) history can you know your current self, and know how to become better.

The concept feels particularly relevant right now.

shortsarahrose I‘ve heard this used in meditation practices before. Like you pick something you want to get out of your practice as a sankofa, say it a few times, and then let it go. 2w

CBee I always love the words you post! 2w

This isn‘t the meaning I expected when looking up this word (stumbled upon recently when reading the AMAZING All the Sinners Bleed). But it‘s cool nonetheless! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CatLass007 This is a great word! I‘ve read it before so I knew what it meant in the context of the words around it. I‘m too lazy to look it up in a dictionary though. Thanks for sharing this amazing word, you amazing woman! 2w

BookmarkTavern What a timely word! 😂 2w

dabbe You always pick the best ones to say out loud! And extremely prescient as well. 😍 2w

CBee @BookmarkTavern I thought the exact same thing 😂🤦‍♀️ 2w

CBee @peanutnine I can see that! 😂 2w

CBee @dabbe thank you! 😊 2w

CBee @CatLass007 you‘re very welcome, fellow amazing woman 😊 2w

CatLass007 I just did something that I said I don‘t do because of laziness. I looked up the definition of the word “febrile.” It was just used in the book Conclave describing a “new and febrile mood.” It can mean either feverish or nervous excitement or energy. From the context, I believe it is intended to mean nervous excitement or energy. You have inspired me to start looking up the definitions of words! 2w

CBee @CatLass007 I know that word from my nursing school days. I‘m glad I inspired you to look it up 😊👏🏻 2w

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.
