Not just one picture, but nine! It was a good day.

The weekend is here! I’m going to Columbus, Indiana this weekend, so I will definitely have some great pics for you soon. In the meantime, here are a couple of photos from the Grove Haus.

Hello, viewers of my photos. It’s been awhile. Nonetheless, I’m pleased to present a new crop of pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Bread bakes,
And the heart cries.
Hello Heart, I’m glad to meet you.
You don’t get out much, do you?
A bit of a recluse, I’d say.
A lovebird fluttered away,
She waited by your doorstep,
But you didn’t wake to greet the sun.
I wish she had stayed to hear your voice,
Because you are beautiful.
I know that, Heart of Hearts.
I do know that.
Where is she now? I think you’d like to know.
Tracing hearts in the sky.

Well, I forgot to take pictures on Thursday and Friday. However, I snapped quite a few good pictures over the weekend. So much so, that I have two pictures for each of the last four days. Enjoy!

I feel these pictures came out a bit better than the last batch.

My journey continues. I struggled a bit these two days to find good photographs. But the creative process is not always easy.
Apparently, this is a thing. Consider it a challenge, a journal, or a journey (I prefer journey). Take a picture a day and post it to your blog. I’m going to try it … with a caveat. It will be OK to take two or more pictures in a day to “catch up,” as it were, if I had forgotten to take them on the previous days. A year is a long time, and I know it will happen. Here are some reasons why you should try it, too.
This is the sixth installment of my longstanding series Jane Eyre Vocabulary & Quotes. So without further ado, let us begin!
pecuniary: Of, relating to, or consisting of money.
My pecuniary affairs suffer much because of my addiction to video games.
lineaments: An outline, feature, or contour of a body or figure and especially of a face—usually used in plural. A linear topographic feature (as of the earth) that reveals a characteristic (as a fault or the subsurface structure).
The bus driver’s lineaments revealed a hard life.
dandle: To move (a baby or young child) up and down in a playful or affectionate way.
My inexpert dandling of the newly born child caused the midwife much uneasiness.
aerie [British eyrie, as written in Jane Eyre]: The nest of a bird (such as an eagle or hawk) built high up on a cliff or on the top of a mountain. A room or building built high up so that people inside can see things happening below them.
The boy balanced himself atop the flagpole and gazed down triumphantly on the playground below, as an eagle in its aerie may upon a vast forest.
Well, that’s all for now. Feel free to comment on this post with your own sentences from the words above. I’ll leave you with a quote from Jane Eyre:
“Presentiments are strange things! and so are sympathies; and so are signs: and the three combined make one mystery to which humanity has not yet found the key. I never laughed at presentiments in my life; because I have had strange ones of my own. Sympathies, I believe, exist: ( for instance, between far-distant, long-absent, wholly estranged relatives asserting, notwithstanding their alienation, the unity of the source to which each traces his origin) whose workings baffle mortal comprehension. And signs, for aught we know, may be but the sympathies of Nature with man.”
The Word of the Day today is nudnik. I discovered this word while reading Phillip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle. I quote:
But above and beyond everything else, he had originally been drawn by her screwball expression; for no reason, Juliana greeted strangers with a portentous, nudnik, Mona Lisa smile that hung them up between responses, whether to say hello or not.
Dick uses the word as an adjective, although it appears to be a noun. That is neither here nor there.
According to Merriam-Webster, nudnik means “a person who is a bore or nuisance.”
I might use the word nudnik in a sentence like this:
A group of brainy nudniks beat my friends and I head-to-head on trivia night at Books and Brews, a local bar and restaurant.
