A Letter a Week: N
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 at 06:00AM 
N is for nut and since all of my grandson's grandparents and great-grandparents as well as both his parents were born and raised in Ohio, there MUST be a buckeye on this one!
The Ohio Buckeye is the state tree of Ohio and, of course, The Buckeyes or 'The Bucks' is the name for The.Ohio.State.University's teams. It is also the name of a chocolate and peanut butter candy made in the shape of a buckeye nut. (You can find the recipe at the link).

I love how this one looks irredescent (sp?)!
I love the shapes and colours you have here. I'd never heard of the Buckeye, so you're educating me well!
Lovely drawing. Mine was nuts too, dropping from the trees of the island of Crete, Greece.

Not only elegant but so clever again.
Those Ohio people are SO crazy about the buckeyes! I root for them because my friend Gretchen married an Ohio man. I can't root for them in front of my dad because he LOVES Penn State! I'm not that crazy about football, but I am crazy about all of your beautiful letters! Hope you have a great week. Thank you for praying for Quince!
You're making me hungry for some sort of nut pie, thanks for the post.
Do you know that it wasn't until I read your post that I understood what a *buckeye* was.
ABC Wednesday is very educational isn't it?
Bear((( )))
oh, these are nuts! Thanks for sharing.
Nuts is the perfect word and post for the letter N. Yes those Ohio Buckeyes are in a class by themselves and have some of the best Spirit I have encountered.
Great post as always!
In Greece we say: "Nuts doesn't go to the mountains".
Super N...
I always look forward to your posts... Excellent and skilled calligraphy!
Lovely and interesting.
I've never heard of a buckeye nut! I'm learning quite a lot through ABC Wednesday.
Your letters are quite magical!
I like your calligraphy as ever and the quote of the week as well. Very important. Thanks!
I had never heard of Buckey nuts ...But I know "the Peanuts "! (lol)
Nice Calligraphy, as usual !
