ABC Wednesday - Z!

Got your dictionary out? You ready to play with the letters? It's that time again! ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and the ABC team of Denise, Roger, Troy, Jay, Barb, Gattina and me! And today is the Z day! You know that Zingy, Zany, Zippity Do Da Day! So, what kind of Zs can you find in your world today?

How about a trip to the Zoo and maybe see some Zebras -- well, their backside anyway!



Hungry after that? How about some tasty Zucchini for dinner?


While you're waiting for it to cook perhaps you could play on a Zither!



Or check out the Zodiac!



Zen? Maybe?



Well, whatever, do be Zealous in your efforts then Zoom back here with a Zany post for the Z day!

Photos today, with the exception of the Zoo are courtesy of Google Photos.

Ending on a mystical note today. Great. And I love the sound of a zither.

Unknown said...

Great choices on the Z letter! the zither was the most original if I may say so.

George said...

I'm very impressed with this 'Z' post. Each of these is a great 'Z' entry, but if I were to try to do this I'm afraid I would come up with zilch!

Bettey said...

What a great series of Z's, Sylvia! I totally want zucchini for dinner tonight now ... Have a good rest of the week :)

Great Z's. I bought a small zither in Mexico years ago and absolutely love its soothing sounds. Thanks for a great post!

photowannabe said...

Lots of great z words. Zucchini is yummy in so many things.
The Zither is like an autoharp or is it?

Hildred said...

Great Z words Sylvia, and interesting photos to go with them. I think Zithers are fascinating instruments and would love to know how to play one.

Mara said...

That's a garden after my own heart. I might give it a go some day. After I've cleared out all those pesky weeds.

Beverley Baird said...

What a great collection of Z items! The photos are lovely!
Have a great week Sylvia!

Oh wow, Sylvia! You thought of some great Z words today! Have a zippedy doo-dah day and hope to "see" you in round 7! :D

I enjoy the music so much I almost forgot to comment on your Zealous post for ZZZ's

Have a delightful evening, Sylvia.

Great Z-words! What a Zest for life we get playing abc-Wednesday! (I think your zither is the same one as my zither! Thank goodness for Wikipedia!)

Nice selection of Zs Sylvia! I like the pretty zither and the very colourful zodiac. Enjoy the rest of your week :-)

Jay said...

I would like to think I could play on the zither while waiting for my zucchini, but the sad fact is that I probably couldn't! Fun post!

On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday, Round 6! We hope you'll stick around for Round 7, which begins next week!

Carolyn Ford said...

Wow, Sylvia...you found some great Z's! The zither is BEAUTIFUL!

Anonymous said...

Great collection! Do you really have a zither?! I definitely could use a little Zen today and would like to spend the afternoon in that garden.

Pietro Brosio said...

Excellent choices for Z, Sylvia! All great pictures, very beautiful the Zither and the Zodiac!

Joy said...

I loved spotting the zebras, quite a zen moment. I love the sound of the zither and such a beautiful instrument.

Susan at Stony River said...

Oh I want that Zen garden!
(Just knowing I don't have to mow it makes me feel relaxed already --)
;-)

Kay said...

I love the idea of the zen garden although it's a little bit busy for a zen type thing. Zen gardens tend to be very simple.

Serline said...

Completely missed the zebras at first glance, thought you were going with Zippo Hippo or something along those lines ;-P

I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
