The #alphabethunt for words starting with a Q.

In the English Language, most words starting with Q, the Q is followed by a U. This follows true in my selection of Qs.

Quaker and Quick Oats

I thought finding words and photos for this hunt was going to be difficult but I was making date squares and there on the package of oats, used for the recipe, where two Q words - Quaker and Quick.

Quick

Quick can mean doing something done swiftly such as cooking the oats or it can mean a fast movement.

Something that moves quick is the hummingbird. They move so fast the wings are almost invisible.

Quilt Rack

I bought the Quilt from a friend and the rack was a wedding present. The rack came in a box and had to be assembled by Hubby. I stained it a dark walnut color.

It was in the box for a couple years before we decided it was time to have a look and assemble the quilt rack. It was easy to put together.

At first I was a bit disappointed with getting a gift that had to be put together but I appreciate it now that it is in a finished form.

Coincidently, I think the pattern on the quilt is called Wedding or Wedding Ring.

Quaint

Something being Quaint is usually old-fashioned but charming.

The way the Amish live is Quaint according to today’s standards. Whenever I see them, they always have their heads covered; the women with a bonnet; men with a wide brim straw hat. Their clothing is conservative, in either black or blue colors and they still use horse and buggy for transportation.

An Amish lady, heading home in horse drawn buggy, after spending time shopping in Montague. I love seeing this and it takes me back to days on the farm when horses were used daily. Now, on most farms, tractors have taken over the work done by the horse.

Quack

Quack is the sound made by a duck. It can also mean a fraudulent person or trickster.

These ducks were quacking as they headed for shore to hid in the reeds as I tried to take their photo.

Quiz

There’s all kinds of Quizzes such as quiz shows, quiz games and puzzles. It’s a game in which you test your knowledge. Hubby likes doing a crossword quiz.
