HEART

Bysuehar

Wild Word Friday.

I could tell you that our English word HEART (the actual physical heart) comes from the Middle English herte and the Angle Saxon word heorte, which springs from the very ancient Indo-European base word kerd, and that all of them mean HEART. But you won’t find a better definition of HEART than this five-year-old’s legacy of  love.

Are you as blessed as I am? Any blessings you’d like to share?

SPAGHETTI

Bysuehar

Wild Word Friday! As I’ve mentioned in a few other posts, our summers are hectic. Maybe I should say crazy. It’s not unusual for us to extend our table to seat more than twenty for multiple meals. It’s a great time, but to tell the truth without SPAGHETTI I’d be lost! A meal of SPAGHETTI…

PRINCE

Bysuehar

Wild Word Friday! A few years also, a friend of mine attended her granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation. During the ceremony, each child had a mini interview. The question asked was “What do you want to be when you grow up.” My friend’s granddaughter answered, “A princess,” which made the audience laugh and the girl’s mother groan….

APHAERESIS

Bysuehar

Wild Word Friday! When my 92-year-old father-in-law refers to electricity, he says ‘lectricity. The process of dropping an initial syllable when pronouncing a word is so common in human speech that it’s been given a name – APHAERESIS (uh-fur-eh-sus). APHAERESIS – the word – may be totally unfamiliar to us in our everyday speech, but APHAERESIS…

ORANGE

Bysuehar

Wild Word Friday! My niece Amy and I had a little conversation a few weeks ago about the aggravation of trying to fit a word into a poem when that word has nothing that rhymes with it. Of course, the word ORANGE was the first one Amy mentioned. It didn’t take me long after our conversation to decide…
