When I last blogged in alphabetical order and hit the letter Z, I blogged about the word Zen, Finding Zen. Please take a minute and follow to the link to that post. These last couple of letters X-Y and Z are quite a challenge to find words that start with those letters that can be connected appropriately to the topic of Homelessness.
The picture above isn't a recent picture, but sadly when I look out the window as I'm typing this post, on April 2 (remember most posts are typed ahead, and scheduled to be posted at the appropriate time; it's what I'm seeing out the window. It's 27 degrees. Hard to believe it's spring when it's that cold, damp, and nasty. These conditions, bother me tremendously and I'm inside drinking hot coffee with the heat on (though the house hasn't yet warmed up). Homeless, those in the elements, and those in shelters are far less comfortable.
The word for today is Zneesy. It means, cold frosty weather, and was used as a slang term in the 18th century. Some believe the word was influenced by the word sneezy.
With this Zneesy weather we're having still, I do hope everyone is busy with their looms, their knitting needles, and their crochet hooks and lots of warm sturdy yarn making something warm.

Well today is the 4th, we had some snow today, cold, very windy. It's a good day for knitting.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, was only 28 degrees here again this am. Spring is suppose to be here, but it hasn't felt like it to me.
DeleteKeep those hooks busy folks! Winter doesn’t seem to want to let go this year. It’s been a damp spring in Florida too
ReplyDeleteI know, when I've seen temperature reports, it's shocking. Crazy weather and most unpredictable.
