Oooh boy! Are we in trouble?

-
  The next came from a friend off the internet:


"The English language
has some wonderfully anthropomorphic
collective nouns for the
various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows,


Flock of chickens,



School of fish, Gaggle of geese, and  
 
A Pride of lions.







However, less widely known is:
A Murder of crows









(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),

An Exaltation of doves







And, presumably because they look so wise:
A Congress of owls.








Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious,
most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........


And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not … A Parliament"

Corolla Virus also known as (aka) Corvid-19, not exactly rushing around us  but in charge of how we live our lives for the near future. Someone suggested on Facebook I plant little green onion bulbs 2 meters apart. Well, I rolled my eyes at THAT piece of advice! Practically slobbering at the thought of picking green onions I planted one row about 4 inches apart and none of them have far to shake the dirt from their little bulbs and enjoy the sunshine I wish for them and the rain that was falling gently as I closed my curtains. In this dear country it can change to snow with little or no notice... even in May!
