BRICOLAGE

1. (In art or literature) Construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.

2. Something constructed or created from a diverse range of available things.

This word popped up on Word Daily and I realized it was the perfect description of this blog.




Flowers, sunrises, food, dogs and cats and sometimes snakes, politics, watercolors, books . . .

                                                                                    

Of course, Josie. And whatever else my magpie mind seizes on.

Meanwhile on Word a Day, this word could describe same of my posts:

archaeolatry

PRONUNCIATION:
