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 came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word

peanutnine I believe the poem described was Catullus 51 for anyone interested https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/Catullus.php#... 3w
CBee Lovely 🥰 3w
wanderinglynn What a great word! 3w

Bedtime reading: a gift from friends so, for a change, I actually know what I‘m talking about.

Today‘s gray weather was perfect for staying inside, curled up with a book and the last of my brownie batch.

It isn‘t musical instrument related and it isn‘t a fish 😂 I am always excited when I find new X words and especially words that don‘t mean what I think they mean 😃 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
