Birds I

I love my zoom lens! I recently captured some very good pictures of different birds with it.

These owls from PAWS animal rescue (http://www.paws-sc.com/) were brought to our barn for a raptors presentation. Tosh is a Barred Owl who has sight issues, and the other is a Red Phase Eastern Screech Owl who was hit by a car.

I'm sorry for these pictures being offline! I may be able to fix this post later.

Why English is Hard to Learn

Not wonder I was a dunce at grammer : )

Why English is Hard to Learn

We'll begin with box, the plural is boxes,

But the plural is of ox is oxen, not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,

Yet the plural off moose is never called meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;

But the plural of house is houses, not hice.

The plural of man is always men,

But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,

And I give you a book, would a pair be a beek?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn't two booths be called beeth?

If the singular's this and the plural is these,

Should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him;

But imagine the feminine . . . she, shis, and shim!
