Dark Raspberry

Dear Diary:

Of all the summer fruit I can eat, I love raspberries the best.  One year my Mother decided to plant a variety of raspberry canes.  The next year, we had an abundance of red, white and black raspberries.  I pigged out for weeks, eating as many as I could every day.  Mom made them into muffins, cakes and biscuits.  She cooked them into sauces, marinades and jams.  There was a short period where I never wanted to look at another raspberry again.

Uh-oh...am looking at a dark raspberry right now.

 Good Night for now.

A Coating of Patina

Dear Diary:

PAT-n-uh or pu-TEE-nuh, whatever way you pronounce it, is a beautiful colour.  It is a tarnish that forms on some metal over time, or a sheen on wooden furniture produced by age or a change in a surface through exposure or weathering or changes to colour from years of wear.

I Love to Spell - S-P-E-L-L!

Dear Diary:

I've always been a good speller, even from my elementary school days.  I check a dictionary, encyclopedia or thesaurus if I'm not sure of the spelling.  I run spell check on my computer.  But lately I've run into a couple of ...ummm...problems!

I've always been aware of some spelling differences for Canadian, American or British words, such as neighbour, theatre, axe, cheque, or programme but I've recently done two posts where my spelling has been put to the test.

Awhile back, I used the word "dilemna".  I used spell-check and the word came up incorrect.  I thought it was right so I checked the online dictionary and it showed a double m spelling.  I went to an online encyclopedia and it confirmed it as an "alternate spelling".  My hard copy of the dictionary listed it.  Wow!!  I was floored!!!  I had always been taught to spell it with an "n".  I cruised the internet and found a discussion board about this spelling and a lot of people were just as confused as I was.  So I thought, "It's just one of those oddities...I can live with it."  Well not too many weeks later when I posted about "fuschia", I was met with the same fate.  ERRRRGGGHHHH!!!  I went through the process all over again.  When did the word change to "fuchsia"?

The best advice I got was when I was in university, the professor said, "The important thing to remember is to be consistent in usage and to follow a regular pattern when you spell." So please forgive me for my small indiscretions in spelling - could be Canadian / American / British way / or just Dreamer way.

Good Night for now.
