Driving in the car ... listening to the traffic report ... heard something about a Dingleby Road. Immediately my mind opened up like a flower and I was ready to write a novel about a little lady ... or a little boy ... who lived on Dingleby Rd. Doesn't it sound like it belongs in a book? Then I began to think of the name of the person who would live on this street.
Oh English! Or any language for that matter. Languages not my own sound beautiful (like Portuguese or French), and there is such expressive beauty in sign language as well. But the only language I know well is English and I love it when words have beautiful--or fun--sounds to them, such as the sound of "dingle." Musical! I also love the sound of different accents speaking my language. Something can sound a little more or a little less important depending on the accent, at least in my experience.

What cute photos! We are driving to Myrtle Beach is this rain later today. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteYour "little one" is so very precious!
ReplyDeleteI have always had such a difficult time with language. I think it is because I loved music so much growing up that I didn't give language much attention. So now, I stumble around for words and spelling - but oh, what an art it is, and like you I think the sound of certain words are musical!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!

that is precious.
ReplyDeleteGreat captions of her delight.
I love the blog subject.
What adorable pictures of that little one signing. I too hear words that send me off on tangents and make me want to write stories...Playing with words is fun.

Did you know there is a Dingle Bay in Ireland? There are lots of musical word names in Ireland...I love reading them in books.
ReplyDeleteDingle Bay and Dingle Peninsula, it's delightful to see and such huge cloudscapes to behold near the seaside! Love the photos, you're getting so good at the collages and choosing expressions! Her sweet little dolly, and the snow!
ReplyDeleteI clicked through to this post from your current post, and I know what you mean about the sound of words. It's a perfect English setting! Reminds me of something I just read about Tolkien. He loved the sound of the words "cellar door." It's funny how certain sounds appeal to us and conjure up all sorts of images. I want to live in Dingleby Road!
