*photos by Elaine A. Russell (click on pics to see them bigger)ABC Wednesday is a blog posting with a twist. The host (Mrs. Nesbitt) hails from Great Britain... and there are participants from all over the world. Each week, people focus their post on a letter of the alphabet. They started with the letter "A" --and each week you post something in regards to the next letter of the alphabet. It is a fun, imaginative exercise... and it is great to see what everyone comes up with. This week's letter is, "Q".
although these words were fascinating....
- quaesitum : something sought for; the true value
- quiddity : unique essence; eccentricity
- quilt : I could do a ton of posts on my love of quilts....

I love this plant... and frequently picked it when I was little. My grandmother showed me to put them in vases of colored water so that the white blooms would turn the color of the water. It was magical.....
