Happy May Day🌷 Merry Beltane🌿🔥
🍃Word of the day: ravine (pronounced not with i, but with long ee) - овраг
and one more: creek - ручей🏞️

🌿Example from the book (Dandelion Wine, for a change) : “And then I wanted to call back what the ravine was like, especially on those nights when walking home late across town, after seeing Lon Chaney’s delicious fright The Phantom of the Opera, my brother Skip would run ahead and hide under the ravine-creek bridge like the Lonely One and leap out and grab me, shrieking, so I ran, fell, and ran again, gibbering all the way home. That was great stuff.”

💫Word of the day: erroneous (adjective from ‘error’)

Example from The Dark Forest: “The primary threats they pose to humanity lie in their erroneous and random interference to high-energy physics experiments
