I was going to ask you really?! So I looked it up-who knew?!-very interesting!

Owls are generally solitary, but when seen together the group is called a “parliament” as they have long been considered to be of a wise disposition. In Greek mythology, the owl is the symbol for Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Geese are called a “gaggle” as the word is imitative of the noise they make.May 4, 2013

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Do you know the difference between an herb and a spice? Take a guess!

Spoiler

The difference between the two is where they are obtained from a plant. Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant. Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds. Examples of herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and mint.
