Holiday Decorations 2021

Last year my neighbors asked if they could use part of my front yard for their holiday decorations, and I agreed. This year they asked again and put up even more decorations than they did last year.

It will be interesting to see how long they leave the display up. I will have some yard work to do once they take it all down.

Happy Holidays,

Wednesday Word Search – Wat

Welcome to another Wednesday Word Search where I pick a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Awhile back I searched for ‘hat’ and ‘bat’ so started a theme of ‘?at’ words. Last time I searched for ‘vat’ so will continue on.

The word for tonight is: wat

Wat should be interesting. The string ‘wat’ is in some interesting words.

What images will I find?

Eating Watermelon, Barrell Springs Ranch, Lamar, Colorado, WatermelonWith the first image we have one of my Dad’s cousins showing us how to eat watermelon.

Eating Watermelon, Watermelon Break, Archaeology, Lachish, Israel, DigFor the next image here I am during watermelon break while on an archaeological dig at Tel Lachish in Israel.

Water Droplets, Rose Leaves, Mister Lincoln Rose, Rose after wateringHere are some water drops on rose leaves. Not rain drops, but from the sprinklers.

Bamboo Water Fountain - Japanese Garden Water Fountain - Cherry Blossom petals - Garden Water FeatureThis bamboo water fountain brings back some memories of a delicious meal in Tokyo.

Water, Wonderpho, Water bottleFinally we have a bottle of water along with a glass at WonderPho restaurant in Toronto. Unfortunately, the restaurant is no longer open. I would always enjoy eating there when I would teach in Toronto.

These images show that ‘wat’ is found in some interesting words. Mostly having to do with water 🙂

Which is your favorite ‘wat’ picture?

What should I search for next? Should I cover xat, yat and zat? I only have one image for these, but perhaps I could add tags to a few pictures that contain these strings.
