Photo Friday - XANTHIC or Flowers Can't Grow In Vodka

It is really a challenge find an X-Word for Photo Friday so I decided to gOOgle Search and found the word XANTHIC!!!

[xanthic]
ADJECTIVE
technical
literary
xanthic (adjective)
yellowish.
ORIGIN
early 19th century: from Greek xanthos ‘yellow’ + -ic
.


FlowersDon'tGrowInVodka!!!!
Lucky in Love has not been my forte!!! Perhaps it's because of A Venus/Mars Conjunction in Virgo or perhaps because of bad choices - I made in my youth.

Life is full of surprises but I am currently not looking for love. I am at a point in my life where that ship may already sailed.

Life on Life's Terms

I came back West Virginia in 20 because my ex-husband were not well and needed someone take care of him. I can guarantee the ditz that he was keeping company with was more interested in his pharmacuticals than she was him.

Most of the time, my disastrous relationships ended because of other women. Ironically, the caliber of the women replaced me was sad. They don't end up with a happily ever after at all.

WHEN LOVE GIVES YOU EL TORO DOO DOO - USE IT AS FERTILIZER TO GROW SUNFLOWERS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....................

Poor Mr. Gemini Rising. He drove to Maryland and rescued a woman out of crack house. Apparently the man that she was co-habituating with threw her out. He brought her home and I was not happy. She eventually went back to her boyfriend but I wasn't going to stay. Why contend with 'The Bimbo of the Month." Before leaving, I planted Sunflower Seeds ALL OVER Gemini Rising's front and back yards. I planted them all around his house and all around his swimming pool and tub. I planted sunflower seeds in the pots for his houseplants.

I remember talking the Bimbo's old boyfriend. I told him - when Love gives you BS - use as fertilizer grow flowers. His reply Flowers can't grow in Vodka. Apparently the Bimbo had a major league alcohol problem and now she was Gemini Rising's problem. She died two years later from cirrhosis of the liver. This is often caused by large consumptions of alcohol.

Flowers may not grow in Vodka but were sure a bunch of sunflowers growing in Gemini Rising's yard.

A "green thumb" has evaded my repertoire for years too.

I hear you about X-words being hard to find! Congratulations on finding a good one and the nice photos to go with it.

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I enjoyed your pictures illustrating the word Xanthic. The last picture especially!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

When I see sunflowers, I often think of you and this story. I may try to plant some this year.... even the dwarf ones are lovely.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

SUNFLOWERS ARE A BIG ITEM NOW, SUNFLOWER OIL OFTEN COMES FROM UKRAINE AND THE SHELVES ARE EMPTY BECAUSE OF HOARDING. VODKA, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS STILL ABUNDANT AND I WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH A FLOWER OR TWO JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.
NOT TO WORRY, IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE A PISCES, LOVE IS NOT ALWAYS OUR THING.
