V is for Vanilla on February 23 on Alphabetaphilia

Dear readers and writers,

For February 23, we have V for our letter.  Here's a photo from Creative Commons, with thanks, of vanilla beans.  I was over 30 years old before I realized my favorite flavor, vanilla, was a product of beans!  Thank goodness, someone else had discovered that long since and shared it with the world.  Let vanilla inspire you to some aromatic and tasty thoughts using 5 words starting with V today, use them in a sentence, and post in comments.

cheers,
Laura

Hi Alphabetaphilia,

Here is a picture of an amazing wave effect atop a hill in Washington where some trees were cut and others remained tall and the whole world, both to inspire your lists of W-words for today, February 23.  Find five, use them in a sentence, and post in comments below, or just cruise by the comments to see a fabulous collection of wild words beginning with W!
cheers,
Laura
