LiveWire no 4 picked us a bunch of flowers on one of her walks and they are still lovely.
Three Cornered Leeks and a Bluebell
A couple of nights ago, this was the sunset we could see as we drew the curtains for the night.
I do love to learn new words. This one turned up today.

Good word that shares a root with ameliorate:
Whoever coined it did so by drawing on the Latin word melior, meaning “better.” It is likely that the English coinages were also influenced by another melior descendant, meliorate, a synonym of ameliorate (“to make better or more tolerable”) that was introduced to English in the 1500s.

Of course! I hadn’t thought of that so thank you for that. 1500s! Wow! 🙂
