flowing with honey, festooned with hoots cackles and wails
Life is just so darn beautiful. Sunday’s are just so gosh darn beautiful as I laze around listening to a beautiful cd made just for me (spilling over with lovely love songs:), drinking coffee and testing a new batch of Irish scones straight of the oven adorned with homemade cherry jam no less. Later I am going to make a brie and blackberry sandwich and tease a little poetry out of unlikely corners just for the fun of it. Oh! and a yoga class will be in the schedule as well as it keeps me so overwhelmingly positive, grounded and lovely in my bones.
‘Sunday’ just has to be one of my most favorite words today along with…
mellifulous …’flowing with honey…melodious, musical, dulcet, harmonious’
sentipensante ~ “The fishermen of the Colombian coast must be learned doctors of ethics and morality, for they invented the word sentipensante, or ‘feeling-thinking,’ to define language that speaks the truth.”
—Eduardo Galeano, from “The Book of Embraces”
I adore this word as I am surely one to feel while thinking.
olio…a medley or potpourri, as of musical or literary selections
inkling…a hint, a vague notion….
cacophony…’hoots, cackles, and wails’
fabulosity…fabulousness:) (what’s not to love here? 
hullaballoo…an uproar (but a happy uproar in my books anyway)
festooned…’to decorate a room or other place for a special occasion by hanging coloured paper, lights or flowers around it, especially in curves’
(i LOVE the ‘especially in curves’ bit)
This week there are plans underway for many lovely summer/fall adventures including a roadtrip through the mountains to visit my friends Darlene and Duke with my children, Shakespeare in the park with Catherine and friends next week, and even a beautiful birthday celebration on Ocracoke Island in which we are hoping to catch a magical glimpse of phosphorescents whilst sipping champagne under the stars.
I also discovered ‘skype’ this week and yes, I realize I must be the last person to sign up for it but I had such a lovely conversation with my friend Kate yesterday morning in Ireland and I am quite the fan now I do declare:)
Wishing you all delightful summer picnics with homemade lemonade and potato salad and hours spent in a hammock with a very good book and catchy tunes:)
what are your favorite words by the way? just curious! and just in case you didn’t know…I am fan of Olivia

oh so glad you posted here and now, me over at my place struggling for words, coming here & finding your delight in these. you have refreshed me. (inkling has always been one of my favorite words, so descriptive, such a picture it paints, just a bit of ink, just a tiny idea.)
xoxo for sunday evening!

one of my favourite words of all time is “persnickety”
i just tried skype for the first time last weekend… so i can keep in touch with my niece who lives a few provinces away… she’s 5 months old so i am doing most of the talking for now

tranquillement is my favorite word right now. It means quietly in French. I love the way it sounds; so tranquil.

i’m the very last person to get skype…actually i haven’t even signed up!
cacaphony and calliope are good, so are evocative and kitten.
big love, honey. xo

I love superfluous, mellifluous, and dulcet. And melodious, which is how they all sound.
Your Sunday sounds delightful.
(I don’t have Skype yet. I didn’t want to buy a microphone so am waiting until I upgrade my computer someday to one with a microphone included.

I am glad you turned back your comments so I can love on you back! This is a household that loves Olivia as well. I am glad you discovered Skype it is a great way to stay connected.
Aaahh Shakespeare in the park, now you are talking my language. How I would love to go but my trip to NYC will be in December.

Amorevolmente..it is “doing something with love” in Italian and..

Oh, it is so wonderfully refreshing to be here visiting you again, sweet Maddie. It’s like I opened a window in here. You really are delightful.
And so is Olivia! I was recently introduced to her when I went to visit my little niece, and read her one of her favourite books. I had never seen Olivia before, and now, I feel like a little kid…I want to see more!
I love the word helicopter.
Don’t really know why..it’s not beautiful or dreamy…it’s just fun to say.
