Waldo‘s narrative is intriguing, often full of vibrant vocabulary. “Scrofulous,” suitable for #weirdwordwednesday , means having a diseased appearance, and similarly “rachitic” refers to rickety geraniums. Interesting word choice. Revealing much?….
Today‘s word is kenopsia.
Kenopsia: the atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.

float lazily on the breeze:
ghosts of yesterday.

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.
