Drifting through life

  this butterfly fits with Charlotte's colour of the month: pumpkin orange The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by Sean Jeating and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.cudgeling  2.remember  3.language  4.translated  5.coined and/or: 1.dead  2.heirs  3.between  4.existing  5.episode My own story will be on this blog on Friday 31st

And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. this new young tree has pretty flowers with a very strong scent so I took a photo and my phone app tells me it is a "chinaberry" tree. I got an immediate headache from it and now walk down that street on the opposite side when going to and from the shops. It looks a lot like the bigger tree in the driveway here which I know as white cedar. It is also flowering now, so I can't be walking past it and have to go the long way a...
