Molly the Barn Owl

Live TV : Ustream

Loana posted this link to our Elk Grove home school group. It's so cool, I had to share!

Here's some more info from the site...

This is a live feed of a wild female barn owl named Molly. The owl box is located 15 feet off the ground. Expecting owlets mid March. The male(McGee) has a white chest and face. He usually shows up after dark but has spent an entire day with the female.

And one last note from me...

One egg has hatched! His name is Max.

Fun With Words

I like words.  I like playing with words.  I like thinking about words.  I like knowing how to properly use and spell words. I like learning new words.  I like kicking your butt at Scrabble.

But I digress...

I just came across this dictionary while explaining to Molly the definition of  "cut a rug" and proving I hadn't made it up.  http://onlineslangdictionary.com/

We had the most fun with this feature.  http://onlineslangdictionary.com/random-word/  You can vote on your usage (or lack of usage) of random words.

Just a warning, this is SLANG.  There is quite a bit of naughty stuff in there!

I read a book a couple a months ago in which one character asked another what her favorite word was.  It took me a while to think of my favorite word, but as soon as I stopped thinking about it, it popped right into my head.

Lave.  I'll let  you look it up.  It sounds sinister and sexy to me, but has such a clean meaning. ;)

What is your favorite word?

From Lydia

Spell silk.

What do cows drink?

Did you say milk?
