Odd, but the horses all seem to know exactly when a half hour lesson is complete.

Sometimes it's just enough that a season ends. The chance to rest and recharge. This was the first weekend in 13 I didn't have to be at the faire.

It feels strange doing my early morning routine with the sun peeking through my window...

Who would you rather have peeking through your window?

Well.  I wake up early for work second day in a row and we're talking about feeding chickens and feeding peeping Toms

Wonders what that entails ... You could come here and have rain and gray peeking in the window... bleck.  And wind ...let's not forget that.

Here's today's word:

 

mordant    adjective | MOR-dunt

Definition

1 : biting and caustic in thought, manner, or style : incisive   2 : acting as a mordant (as in dyeing)   3 : burning, pungent

 

 

The etymology of mordant certainly has some bite to it. That word, which came to modern English through Middle French, ultimately derives from the Latin verb mordēre, which means "to bite." In modern parlance, mordant usually suggests a wit that is used with deadly effectiveness. Mordēre puts the bite into other English terms, too. For instance, that root gave us the tasty morsel ("a tiny bite"). But nibble too many of those and you'll likely be hit by another mordēre derivative: remorse ("guilt for past wrongs"), which comes from Latin remordēre, meaning "to bite again."

Thanks, but I'll pass. I just walked outside to the trash bin wearing nothing but gym shorts and flip-flops. The only reason I'd deal with your conditions willingly would be the chance of meeting you, Michael, and Reader1810.

[Defiance19]

Good morning, all.. 

Nice waking up to pleasant chatter around the coffee hub this morning...  Grabbing my to-go cup...

Have a great day!! 

[Brayon]

Good Morning, my fellow DiCers.

Busy day, and starting off by heading out to see Mom this morning.

 

@Defiance19 I had to do a triple-take with your avatar. You don't want to know what it looked like to me, at first, and what it was doing. Let's just say, my mind was in the gutter firmly.

😂 😎 It's easy. First you must embrace your inner pervert, and then read the forums half-asleep and no coffee.☕

Well, that makes at least three of us.  I immediately associated it with death; probably because of the first three letters, wrong associations came to mind - "mortuary", "morbid", "moribund"
