Words for Wednesday

Each day I take a look at the words that grace the calendar on my kitchen wall. Some days I look ahead to see if there is a word that strikes me. All the words make me think. Here are this week’s Words for Wednesday:

**exclave–a noun: the portion of a country separated from the main part and constituting an enclave in respect to the surrounding territory

**bird-dog–a verb: 1. to watch closely;  2. to seek out: follow or detect

**colubrine–an adjective: 1. relating to a snake; 2. relating to a large family of nonvenomous snakes

**revenant–a noun: one that returns after death or a long absence

This week’s favorite:

**tub-thumper–a noun: a vociferous supporter (as of a cause)

I have certainly thumped some tubs in my time. How about you?

As always, feel free to leave me a comment, ot a stone, (o), to let me know you stopped by.

Nearly Full Moon

Nearly full moonThe air is cold and crisp, the moon approaching full. It is so bright, you can almost read a book. Tonight is the Full Beaver Moon. This would have been the time to set the beaver traps before the swamps froze; it was the time that the beavers would prepare for the long winter ahead. How far removed we have become from our roots. Do you connect with the phases of the moon?

How Green is My Valley: A Colorful My Town Monday Post

The Village of Peninsula, population 601, sits in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley. The Valley is awash with color throughout the year.  When people think of Autumn in the Valley, I think that they think of oranges and reds and golds. Those colors certainly are there; the palate is also shared with shades of green. Not the fresh young greens of spring, but rather the mature shades that have experienced a season of sunshine, rain, and wind.  Here is a look:
