I' m sorry, I've been taxing my brain and I am just not able to come up with an entry for June 1. It's not for a lack of trying. I don't want to repeat myself, and with a memory like mine, I had to go back over the blog. There's a lot of previous entries, while reading them, I happened to fall asleep sitting at my computer. When I woke up my head was lying at a 90 degree angle to my body, I had such a crick in my neck I couldn't lift my head off my shoulder. I got up to get an ice pack for the pain. Of course, my balance was way out of whack and a touch of vertigo sent my head careening into the stairs. When I came to I was lying on a basement floor not knowing where I was, or even, who the hell I was. I figured I belonged here though because I saw a picture of myself with six other fellows standing by a truck. It looked like we might be friends or something. On further investigation I found another picture of the same six guys posing in identical positions, we were quite a bit younger and there was an older gentleman with us. We were also standing in front of a truck, when I read the name on the truck it snapped my memory back to who I was. I was even able to name each guy in the picture because they were my brothers, and the older gentleman, he was my dad. I had quite a lump on my head and another different kind of lump in my throat. I'm ok now though.
I still haven't been able to come up with an entry for the blog.
Out of whack

Hi Loved,
Now I have that lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.
Sentimentally yours,

๐Well, Ed, you have painted another word picture๐ that lets us see every action๐ง๐ป♂️ and feel every emotion๐ฆ.
๐ธOf course, we are familiar with the two photos that told you right where you belong๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ง๐ผ♂️๐ฌ. That lump in your throat is also part of who we are whenever we’re reminded of life’s generous gifts of family and friends ๐.

Great stuff, Loved! ✔️That’s eleven more correct answers. The POT in number 24 ๐ชด still needs a different descriptor.๐บ
So… with 18 correctly ‘spotted’,❗️, we still need answers ❓for numbers: 1, 6, 7, 14, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24 (different adjective), 25, and 27. (BTW… Number 19 should probably be answered before Number 1 can be solved๐ฌ; and Number 24 provides the clue for Number 25๐ชด).
1. Potassium - Heather
6. Despot - Heather
7. Hypothermia - Heather
14. Hot spot - Heather
17. Jackpot - Heather
18. Potentilla -Deanie
19. Apothecary - Heather
21. Potpourri
23. Omnipotent - Heather
24. Flower pot - I'll try that
25. Garden pot
๐Wow, you guys have been busy!๐จ๐ฉ๐ง Heather certainly has a way with words๐ฉ๐ป and Deanie loves her flowers๐บ. You’ve answered Number 24 correctly this time, Loved ๐ชด but the answer to 25 is much simpler than you’ve made it.๐ Deanie will know what to do!๐ชฃ
So, with 28 answers spot on✔️, we are left with numbers 25 ๐ชฃ and 27๐ณ.
I'm going to try
25. More pots
Heather says
27. Fusspot

Nice finish, Loved๐
Heather correctly identified the FUSSPOT. ✔️Your answer to 25 satisfies me. ๐The quiz master would have liked you simply to say: REPOT. ๐ชด๐ชฃ
