ABC Wednesday is a word meme with participants from around the world. Our Host, Mrs. Nesbitt hails from Great Britain. Says Mrs. Nesbitt: "Some have been with us from the very first round, others have joined in along the way! What fun! Each week we are taken across the globe to see the varied and exciting contributions people have taken the time to discover and capture! ABC Wednesday is now entering a 3rd year of fun! I'll raise a glass to you all!". We started with the letter, "A" and each week we post something in regards to the next letter of the alphabet. This week's letter is, "H".
Hollyhocks outside of lovely windows like this one is a common sight here in New Mexico during he summer months.
A lovely 'head' created by a very gifted artist who works in the medium of pottery, Linda Vozar Sweet. She and her husband run a lovely bed and Breakfast cottages in Jemez, NM. The B&B link you can pick up from the link to Linda's page.
Horse shoes on a farm up in Angel Fire, NM. This family specializes in raising Tennessee walking horses.
This lovely pair of hands also grace the property of that B&B (Casa Blanca) in Jemez. They quietly sit under the eaves (or was it a window sill?) of the cottage.
Hyssop? Have you heard of hyssop? I have. Go to the link and note the uses for it in cologne, rituals and medicinal. As for howdah (new word for me), I found two different uses. You can get to the first one here and the second one here. Howitzer is a new one for me too. You can find out about it here. These are all humdingers, I think!

All very nice H photos. They were a peasure to look at.
That blue window tells a story.
Very interesting choices for the letter H. Love the artwork an the beautiful flowers.
I'm oddly taken by the horseshoes more than the others.
A creative post, nicely put.
Oh, indeed, humdingers! I remember making 'dolls' from hollyhocks when I was a young girl have haven't seen any in ages. Terrific h's and photos!
What an enlightening post on H. The hands are special.
Lovely collection of pictures for ABC Wednesday, as usual! Your posts are always interesting!
I have heard of hyssop! Isn't it a soporific? My favourite is the horse-shoes though! Love that old iron!
Never fail but to learn a new word when I am here. Very different choices.
Your name on the ABC Meme list first brought me to this blog. You have lived in two exquisitely beautiful places, and I envy you. Love the hollyhock photo with the bright blue window frame.
Very pretty shots and great H words! I also saw your other blog with the paintings. I think they are brilliant! Lovely! Thanks for sharing and visiting.
Such a fun H post! Thank you.
Oh my... I have hops growing in the backyard....maybe next time.
I so love the head and the hands...and the horse shoes are very cool...
thanks for the links and some new h words for me too!
Happy ABC H!
