I've heard that word before, I'll have to dig deep and see if I can remember. Another nice day here so I'll be spending most of it in the garden.

I've not heard that word before - hmmm. My ancestors come to mind - they kept kittle!! Must think hard.

Cynthia - what fun - the cherry blossoms. I'll have to look for news feeds with pictures!!

Nancy.

The phrase that comes to mind is "tittle tattle" though I am not sure what tittle means.

Cherry blossoms were lovely. We had brunch outside at a place on the Potomac south of National Airport. Fun to watch the sail boats and not too many jets taking off (they make it hard to hear). Lovely day spent outside.

You see tittles every day. I guarantee that you have seen at least ten today!

Cynthia

I've heard the word before too, but I can't remember in what context. I think I know what a titter is, but that doesn't really help, does it?

if i just think intently, i will give it to you, i imagine.

Cynthia

I am noticing all those uncapitalized letters. Perhaps tittle is a capitalized word.

HMMM, I see a lot of "i"s there, is it something pertaining to the letter "i"?

Annette

Getting very close Annette.

I must remember to dot those i's otherwise mine look like e's, if I'm right another letter comes into play here too.

Been outside most of the day digging and weeding and potting up plants for our garden club plant sale next month I'm all pooped out. All I have to do now is make dinner and then I can crash on the couch in front of the TV.

Annette

Sure is warm here now! :)

Cynthia

Is a tittle the dot over the i ?

TM

Is it like a version of covering all of your bases?

Glad you had a great day - lunch outside sounds lovely. Not as nice here today as it was yesterday, but I have croci in bloom - yea!! And there was lightening in the east 10 minutes ago. Hopefully no power outages.

Nancy.

Clues have me thinking a tittle is the dot over the English letters i and j and maybe other letters in other languages. Oh, just read TM's post and see we are on the same path.

When I was thinking about tittle tattle I thought it might be a small bit, like tattling over some small bit of news.

Yippee for all of you and four stars, too. It is the dot over the i and the j in English. Bobbie, you are right that it can also be a small bit.

I hope you have a delightful week. We spent today looking at houses on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I so would love to retire and have a place on the water. We'll see if we can figure it out. It was a lovely day-perfect weather, breezy, warm. Tomorrow will be rain and then the cold front is expected to bring freezing temps again. Sigh-so much for Spring clean-up during vacation. :(

Thanks for playing!
Cynthia

Thanks for the stars and interesting question.

Looking at houses and thinking about a change with retirement sounds like fun. We are also discussing making a change in housing but thinking of downsizing and having less upkeep to do so we can travel. This winter that just doesn't end has us seriously thinking of going south for a couple of months during the winter season.

Only 26F this a.m. but warmth from the sun felt good as I worked outside. It was rather brisk last night on my deck where I was gazing at a mostly covered but faintly red radiant moon. I had a clear crisp sky to view the progression of the lunar eclipse from beautful large orb to increasing crescents to darkness and decreasing crescents to full moon again.
