today: sun and thunderstorms. working for a nature project and for a geek thing. rushing and pausing. coffee and water. and the next word play: after finding words inside words in the D day/dream, G is about growing words. starting with "Ei", which is German for "egg". and which grows into ice and iron and into railway, just by adding letters.
here's a thing about German language: you can "grow" / specify nouns by connecting two words. like: the house of the "Eisenbahnwärter" turns into the "Eisenbahnwärterhaus".
this blog post was inspired.. by a drive to the "Grünabfallsammelplatz". (= "garden cutting collecting place", or literally: "green garbage collect place")
(note.. this post initially was deciated to E, and was called "ei/egg/eis/ice", but after a case of "Buchstabendopplung" (letter-doubling) now got renamed to "G is for Growing words"..

Love what you are doing with words in the A-Z
Love the word-building capacity of the German language, and the way you are playing with this in your posts.
Thanks! Really enjoying the wordplay. Chris, and so good to see another E-Egg in your A-Z: http://chrisgalvinwriter.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/e-is-for-eggs/
