Lovely

I have fallen in love with the word, lovely.

It is light and airy and full of sunshine.

The deep, rich, fairy tale sunshine of a late afternoon when anything could happen and the world has a magical look.

The shadowy fern framed morning sunshine on a screened in porch that is cool and serene.

Lovely is both lilting and exotic, an understated sound that is so English. Speaking to me of old forests, quiet streams, and tunnels of greenery sprinkled with cottage flowers.

Bestest sprinkles it through our conversations and I am transported far across the sea now when I hear it.
