May I add tranquility? I had never heard the word petrichor, but I sure do love what it means. Your son's point above is well-taken. I will never think of bucolic in the same way again.
I love learning new words. I might feel a bit pretentious using some of them, but @PatrickBoucher I have always thought the same thing for the exact same reason about bucolic!
I don't think I have ever commented, so I am coming out of "lurking" to say I enjoy your blog and to thank you for the list of words, they will be a big help in scrabble.
I always thought Bucolic didn't really fit what it meant. It reminds me of bubonic (plague) and colic, and no one likes crying sad sick babies.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Patrick.
DeleteEXACTLY, Patrick!

You had me at the first one!
ReplyDeleteThis fetching, dulcet list imbued me with felicity. :)
ReplyDeleteSo clever :)

ReplyDeleteWafture may be my new favorite word, although spell check says it is wrong (-:
ReplyDeleteThat stack of quilts (or is it fabric?) is beautiful!

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've always appreciated the word "serendipity" but it is difficult to work into a sentence!
ReplyDeleteDebbie Z, I also love Tranquility.
A stack of quilts = a smile :-)
