Words for Wednesday

 



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 River (that's me) and can be found right here

Charlotte's colour of the month is St Patricks Green if you choose to include it.

Here are this weeks words:

1.gallivanting  2.curious  3.forest  4.bacon

and this picture borrowed from ArcticFox

as always, my own story will be on this blog on Friday (14th)

Have fun.

    Blogger having a fit again?
    Fun collection of words, the first one I had to look up and as you can guess.... introvert me tends to rather not do gallivanting and despite I am curious I don´t like forests... bacon I do!
    And I do look forward to what you´ll come up with that combo!!!

      Iris; not blogger, my own mistake this time. I accidentally scheduled this for Friday, like when I write my story, I always schedule for Friday. Gallivanting is a fun word and if I had enough money I might do a bit of gallibvanting, but only in Australia. I think you will like my story.

    Here's mine:
    Patrick, that pig, should not be gallivanting around the green forest … mind you it's fun having the boars foraging around the homestead.

    As there's no electricity out there … it's entertaining me and then I can go back to the town for my curious mind and get to the church on time for our Saint's day on the 17th.

    Recently I've been writing about my early life – when my parents used to smoke pig haunches in our shed areas … I remember the sawdust.

    Another advantage of being back in town … I can get a BLT sandwich for lunch …

    Thanks River for the words … cheers Hilary

Sunday Selections # 726

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...
