I happened across this neat link to improve vocabulary! It is a subscriber service offered by Merriam Webster. It is FREE. They send you an email "word of the day", complete with definition,etymology, and a sentence that illustrates proper usage. I am always trying to add to my vocab, and improve sentence struture...It is an ongoing learning I enjoy, and really thought this was a great way to expand that. Click on the link then click the Word of the Day heading. www.merriam-webster.com

JP and Connie the librarian, Great idea! My first word of the day from MW is gratuitous...But MJF farming words would be more appropriate. Lets see...Does anyone know what a Clod Crusher and Leveler is? Answer: Insert a narrow plank in front of the rear teeth of an A harrow, and the land will be harrowes, the lumps crushed, and the surface leveled at one operation. It will grade the land very nicely.

Hey Ya'll I just love the idea of having a MJF word of the day-of course, it would have to be related to farming. I have so much to learn; my farming vocabulary and knowledge is probably at a 3 year old level.
