To Putter

Brain cancer is...

...puttering.

And also, brain cancer is...vetting ideas for the Word of the Year, 2019.  Today Darrell nominated the word "putter" as in "to putter."  As in spending the day doing things such as...

...making the bed.

And...

...walking at a leisurely pace at the park to take bird pictures.

And as in...

...gathering ingredients to make delicious black beans from scratch.

And as in...

...preparing nutritious frozen treats for the dog. 

To putter, as in:  "to occupy oneself in a desultory but pleasant manner, doing a number of small tasks or not concentrating on anything particular."

"Puttering" also apparently involves studying words, such as the etymology of the word "putter" and definitions of words like "desultory"  and "vet," when used as a verb.   

So far, it sounds like a good choice, Darrell.  But it's only March.

Who likes the rain?  Update

So far all the humans who responded to yesterday's question like the rain.  Dogs do not.
