Words for Wednesday :: July 24 :: The Words

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Troubles led her to bow out, but the meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast with Elephant's Child as our coordinator.

  Essentially the aim of this meme is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given some prompts. These prompts can be words, phrases, music or images.

  Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog. This fun meme includes cheering on the other participants.

  And the more the merrier goes here as well, so if you are posting on your own blog then please tell us in the comments, so that all other participants, can come along and applaud.

This post goes live at 16.01 Tuesday my time. I have found out - hopefully now correct - that this is when Wednesday begins in Canberra.

For today the prompt are:
Building
Tailfeather
Trees
Metal
Cloak
Linen
     and/or
Boots
Ring
Spirit
Opera Mints
Phone
Whole

Still Here Post

Poetry Monday :: Growth

Growth - It seems I cannot get away from whining about the weather and incessant rain. Well let it at least be nice and rhyming whinies then.

Growth is everywhere
Plants grow here and there
Weeds and beans,
Flowers, greens,
tomatoes and grains
Just because it rains.

Growth is here and there
In my place and their
weeds and tansies
peas and pansies
mildew and hen's banes
Just because it rains.

Growth is in the air
clouds like a nightmare.
Thunder rolls
and lightening flashes
Puddles in all holes
All is splish and splashes.

Månedens farve juli

Colour of the Month July 

Kagekunst. Jeg købte en käsekuchen med frugtgelé hos vore polske bager.
Da jeg kom hjem med den, havde toppen smittet af på bagerpappet.
Moderne konditorkunst!

Bakery art. I bought a piece of berry cheesecake at our local, Polish bakery.
When I reached home, the jelly on top had made this impression inside the box.
Modern cake art!

Bageren i et supermarked hvor de ikke er til højere kagekunst, havde disse her muffins.
Nej, jeg købte ikke nogen, og Ugleungerne plagede heller ikke.

At a bakery in a supermarket, where cake art is not high priority I found these muffins.
No, I did not buy any, I only brought home this photo. Nobody asked for me to buy some. 

De havde også denne her sjove kage
GULDERODSKAGE
... jo, den er da fint gylden, og der er helt sikkert gulerødder i. Tihi.

They also had this cake with a funny spelling mistake: GULDERODSKAGE:
GULEROD means carrot, GULD means gold
And yes this cake sure is golden, and with carrots, but why combine the words in this crazy way?
KAGE means cake - you might have guessed.

Og en puppe. Jeg frygter den bliver til en stikkelsbærmåler.
Uanset endte den ude i haven igen.

And a pupa. I fear that it turns into a gooseberryleave-eanting Magpie moth.
I put it back into the garden anyway.

Vi var i cirkus. Det har vi været næsten hvert år i lang tid,
de seneste år i Cirkus Baldoni, som også i år.

We went to a circus. We've done that every year (almost) for a very long time.
The last many years Circus Baldoni has been our preferred, also this year.
