Happy Friday Everybody! ​

Just a few more hours and the weekend is here for real!

I'll check it out, by the way, I've never heard of a "flock of ducks", so that website really has a funny name. I've actually duck hunted in the years past, and always heard ducks as being in a "drove". Now, I've heard of a "flock" of geese. : ) Let's just say since I have hunted ducks ... primarily Wood Ducks (Woodies ... or also commonly called "Squealers"), I have a tremendous amount of respect for their amazing acrobatic flying abilities!

Flock of ducks is proper. On land they can be called a waddling. Geese are a gaggle.

Oh and my favorite is a Parliament of owls.

So right after I wrote that I fainted. Bad rug burn on my forehead. I had a bad cold, negative for the Rona. Gave it to hubby and he then gave it back. Had a coughing fit, you know one of those where you can't breathe in. Leaned over to get my breath back and next thing I knew I was face down on the rug with no idea how I got there.

I do hope you're better by now!

Any chance of hidden mold in the house? - We both became really sick because we had black mold hidden behind the kitchen cabinets in the house in Houston.

Murder of Crows! Or is it ravens?

Murder of Crows! Or is it ravens?

Crows are4 called »a murder«.
It is »an unkindness« of Ravens.

A raft of ducklings…
A float of ducks…
A descent of woodpeckers…
A round of robins…
A flamboyance of flamingos…
A vatican of cardinals…

No idea who came up with all these names.

You HAVE to have made this up! Or applied it to the wrong cardinals!

Guess I'm use to the hunting versions of what they are called, LOL!
