I have had such a purely wonderful day so far today, and that has been such an infrequent occurrence as of late that I feel the need to note it somewhere. Like that makes it more real.

Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🤍

Some gentle joy, cold rain for
The drought in our souls

The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.”

The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.”
