I knew the regular meaning of the word gregarious–outgoing, social–but I thought I’d look it up to see if there was anything else. And wouldn’t you know it, there was another definition to be found! From Merriam-Webster online:
a: of a plant : growing in a cluster or a colonyb: living in contiguous nests but not forming a true colony —used especially of wasps and bees
“b” is the sort of great gift I often find in the hedge at the front of my house. My best friend, John, has been stung after finding such a gregarious gift.
Hey, does that bow look suspiciously like insect wings? I wouldn’t open it if I were you! Might be a gargantuan wasp!
Thanks so much to the three ladies who gave me today’s “G” words. You’ll find their links under the words “gregarious,” “great,” and “gift.”
Care to give me some “H” words for tomorrow’s “absolutely-not-the-A-Z-Challenge-because-I-didn’t-sign-up-for-it-and-doing-it-anyway-would-be-wrong” post? One word per person in the comments, and keep ’em clean.
Ta!

Thanks, Susan, but I’ve already got my three. I keep meaning to mention that my oldest comments go to the bottom. I’ll have to make sure I do that in my next post.

My word for you is
Harmony.
I couldn’t sign up for the challenge either and still haven’t begun.
Is it too late to start now?

I think there’s a cut-off date to join the real A-Z Challenge, but I’m not sure what it is. You may have missed it. You can always “go rogue” and do what I’m doing, though. 😛
Thanks for the word! 😀

I know I have already played so have no problems if someone else should play but seeing what all is happening in my community I think of Horrendous as an appropriate word.

F was Saturday and every Sunday is a day off, so Monday is G and Tuesday is H. But don’t worry about it … pretend you’re in Australia. 😀
