Oh My! I have been ill, and totally lost track of the month. Sorry for the short notice. Once again, it is word nomination time.
It could not be easier…
Simply nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (The more times a word is mentioned, the greater the chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for the oct14words.
Please make your suggestions for “Ogler-4-October” (I know, it's a strange title. Try coming up with a rhyming work for October that makes sense, it's not easy) between now (9/25) and 12 p.m. Monday, September 29th, for them to be included. As always, if you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: 12th Tractor (for Old Farmer's Day) or 21st Button (for Count Your Buttons Day).
There are seven bonus words for Octoberr and these will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Libra, Scorpio (star signs) as well as Tourmaline, Opal (birthstone) and Calendula (birth flower), so you do not need to ‘suggest’ those.

Thanks again for doing this Debra, after a few years of doing this I have seen quite a few words repeated, which is not a bad thing but I went on the search for new words this morning and found this Random-Word-Generator
It gives you eight random words and you can double click any you don't like to change them, add extra words or restart if you like. I though I would share this, so that other people could give it a try.
My 8+2 are:

Bowl
Ginger
Skyscraper

Scarf

orange
pumpkins
