Berceuse [behr-SYOOZ]
(n.)
- A song sung to lull a baby to sleep; a cradlesong.

From French “berceuse” (cradle-song, woman who rocks an infant) from “bercer” (to rock)

Used in a sentense:
“He finally fell asleep after the fifth berceuse, my husband, that is; but the baby was still wide awake.”

So true! My driver ed instructor had me driving this dirt road next to a steep drop off when the Bear Swamp hydroelectric Plant was being built in Rowe, Mass. Like in the Berkshires mountainous! I thot I was gonna soil myself. Never have I driven anything like that again! Nopey nope nope!!!!

Too cool!

Wmassgal @wmassgal.bsky.social · 7h

😳 exactly my sentiment!!!

Wmassgal @wmassgal.bsky.social · 7h

Gosh, I can’t do that! You’re brave to try! I think most of these fears are healthy fears and keep us alive!

Wmassgal @wmassgal.bsky.social · 7h

🤣 Yikes. Yeah, that’s too close a call!!! We had wolf spiders in our basement when I was a kid. Lots of them! 🕷️ Needless to say we kids did not hang out in the cellar! They were aggressive spiders 😮

Yeah, it’s not logical, but that reluctance to not push those height boundaries keeps us safe!!!

A new study finds the world is on track to add nearly two months of dangerously hot days each year by the end of the century.

The world is heading to add 57 superhot days a year, but study indicates it could have been worse

Great pic, Pelzerb! I love the colors! Have a wonderful day. Stay warm!

I have a healthy respect for spiders and don’t pet them, and I rescue them and safely put them outside if they stroll in, but I’m with you on heights! I did work for the phone company out on the poles, but felt safe strapped in with my climbing belt and ladder tie downs 😳 I can’t do roofs, though 😬

And it’s not like a warm sunny spell here, either!!! I don’t get it, but I am enjoying it!

Wmassgal @wmassgal.bsky.social · 8h
