No one uses the word xanthic Jan, except you. I read a trillion words a day, and I had never read this one. Now I am running for a fancy dictionary. I love it when this happens, so thank you for the education. This one makes me want to "herald spring" myself. Blizzard coming back tomorrow here, alas!

I learned the word on soup when i was writing a spring abecadarian poem, its much more descriptive than yellow:-) hugs Jan xx
