Zephyr

Did you ever lie on your back in the grass when it's warm out and suddenly feel a gentle breeze waft over you like a soft kiss. You can now proclaim, my friend, that you have been touched by a zephyr (zeh-fur).

Zephyrs are wonderful things.They are welcome when it's hot, they blow wildflower seeds and scatter color throughout fields, and they lift your kite in the spring. I think there should be a national "Take a Zephyr to Lunch" day!

Also, a little trivia for you: zephyr used to be the name for gingham fabric, the kind with the tiny squares in different shades of the same color. 

​And . . . it was also the name of a make of automobile.
