**Quacking** along in this **Querulous Quirky Q-Hunt** arranged by the wickedly talented artist @barbara-orenya who I thought would be kind enough to skip this **Q** and move straight on to the R-hunt, but no, this week indeed was the [#AlphabetHunt, the quaint letter Q.](https://peakd.com/hive-190931/@barbara-orenya/alphabethunt-the-quaint-letter-q-and-the-winners-of-the-lucky-draw-for-the-p-week-eng-fr) **Quaint** my foot; it was more of a **Quarrelsome** letter which nearly broke my **Queen** of hearts, but thankfully that delicious **Quiche** came along at a **Quarter** to 7, saving the day! *** ##### My first Q is:  <center> **Quacking** is the noisy guttural sound that a Duck makes especially when the Hen is calling her ducklings; this **Quacking** can sound quite intimidating! >Duck Trivia. ... A baby duck is called a duckling, and an adult male is a drake. An adult female duck is called a hen or a duck, and a group of ducks can be called a raft, team, or paddling. [Source](https://www.thespruce.com/fun-facts-about-ducks-387094) The word **Quack** is someone with no training who pretends to be a medical doctor. On the other hand, it's also common practice to call a trained doctor who continually gives the wrong medical advice and treatment a real **Quack**. *** ##### The second Q word I chose to share with you is:   I just love **Quirky** artwork which is different and appealing to look at.  We also have those very special people in our lives who are **Quirky**; wonderful individuals with a funny sense of humor as well as **Quirky** ideas. They often are the creative artists like the talented artist who created the frame with broken porcelein cups and saucers that us *normal* people would have discarded into the garbage bin! *** ##### The third Q word is a favourite one of mine and it is:   This rather **Quaint** cottage is the home of my son; quite old-fashioned and full of charm. These are real **Quaint** cottages in an idyllic setting in a museum in the Overberg, Western Cape.  One can also say someone has a **Quaint** sense of humor when their jokes are cleverly done. *** ##### My fourth chosen Q word would be quite miffed that I did not put her first, and she is the:   The **Queen** of course is a Royal head of state, but on the other hand someone who is called the **Queen** of hearts is a woman who is adored by the public. We also get another type of **Queen** of Hearts and that of course belongs to a set of cards used in card games - **Queen** of Clubs, **Queen** of Hearts, **Queen** of Diamonds and the **Queen** of Spades. Something we do not play often enough nowadays are card games, and there are many; Poker, Rummy, Blackjack, Solitaire/ Patience, Canasta, Gin Rummy, Baccarat and Bridge. *** ##### My fifth **Q** word is a delicious:   One of my favourites for a Saturday night light meal is a scrumptious **Quiche**, which is a short-crust pastry filled with a cheesy custard containing vegetables as well as smoked meats. *** ##### The sixth Q word has many meanings and it is:   **Quarters** is another interesting word that has multiple meanings. This juicy Orange has been cut into **Quarters**, meaning into four equal segments. This **Q** word can also mean living **Quarters** which is where someone is stationed temporarily and living in lodgings.  **Quarter** can also be used to describe the time - a **Quarter** to 7 or a **Quarter** past 7; which of course means 15 minutes before or after the hour, which is 60 minutes divided into 4 equal time periods, if you didn't know!  *** **And so we come to the end of my Q-letter hunt which turned into a surprisingly fun hunt after all, so thank you @barbara-orenya for not skipping this difficult Q-word!** <center>  Original Content by @lizelle Thank you for stopping by Copyright @lizelle – All Rights Reserved </center> <center>https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/derangedvisions/Uf5lD91A-HiveGlitch.gif Banner created by @derangedvisions https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/745327200873611284/745330282030432316/Copy_of_Copy_of_Untitled_Design.png Banner created by @zord189
