Hello Gorgeous

This has been the most beautiful Spring in Boston I can remember. Everything is so fragrant, especially at night--the earthy aroma of the lake and the sweet perfume of the trees and flowers is intoxicating. For ESL students visiting Boston right now, you must know how lucky you are. Spring is not always so lovely. Sometimes it rains quite often, or even snows--the weather can be cold and miserable. But not this year (maybe due to global warming which is really a terrible problem and yet look how fabulous everything is!) Today's word is SUMPTUOUS. It means: splendidly and impressively lavish...gorgeously beautiful and enticing. A very fancy meal, or feast can be described as sumptous...and a beautiful Spring day like today can be described as sumptous.
