Summer is slipping away.
 
Take the time off work and do all those things you said you would do this summer. Poof, it's just about gone.
 
 

 
Words to ponder:
 
Enjoy this summer.
Enjoy this day.

"What could you achieve in life if you decided to become totally and blissfully impervious to hostile criticism and to rejection?"

  -Gary S. Goodman

Joy = Word Nerd
 
Susurrous  (adjective)

Pronunciation:  [s�-'su-r�s]

Definition: Pertaining to a susurrus (whispering sound), having or similar to whispering or rustling sounds.

Usage: Most languages have an onomatopoeic word for "whisper" since it is a prominent sound. The Latin word has more whispering sounds [s] than our native Germanic "whisper" and, perhaps, conveys the sense better as a result. If you don't like "susurrous" you may also use "susurrant" as the adjective. The verb is susurrate "make a whispering, rustling sound" with its own family: "susurration," "susurrating," "susurrational," etc.
