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.

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)

Stumbled upon this word in my last read - The Devil and Mrs. Davenport (great book). I didn‘t know there was a specific word for speaking in tongues, but I mean, apparently there is a word for everything 😂🙌🏻 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

My #weirdwords selection is courtesy of the Nov election & the ensuing economic decisions. I came across my selection on History Today:
For a phrase to express unfortunate circumstances that seem impossible to overcome (‘we‘re fucked‘), the Historical Thesaurus of English tells us that they would have proclaimed themselves to be ‘in hot water‘ (first use 1537), ‘in a pickle‘ (1562), ‘in straits‘ (1565) or, in the most extreme predicament, (CONT)
I rarely cussed until around 2019. Maybe because I turned 60, or because the end of that year was horrible and then 2020 came along with its own set of things 🤷🏻♀️. And to be honest I still don‘t cuss a whole lot but a well placed 💩, f*ck, damn does wonders. Nice to have a word to justify my profane word usage. 😂
