Whimsical Barn Chicas Leap

whim·si·cal
/ˈ(h)wimzikəl/
Adjective
Playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way.
Acting or behaving in a capricious manner.

Another quiet night at home.
It's the end of a long week, and the children just want to have some popcorn, watch a movie.
But what movie? Then a knock at the door.
We have guests...
perhaps something whimsical, to entertain this merry band of Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves and wizard?


barn
\ˈbärn\
Noun
Usually large building for the storage of farm products or feed and usually for the housing of farm animals or farm equipment.

Some barns are not so very large, and are indeed quite cozy.
This barn houses two bunnies, and sacks of feed, shelves full of books, and a marvelous big bed for reading in.
Sometimes movies are played here, too.

chi·cas
Plural noun
1. Comes from the Spanish word for girl
2. Used by Natalie, the Chickenblogger to signify hens (chicken + chica )


Looks like the sack of chicken feed was torn open.
I blame the bunnies,
but the chicas are much obliged for this unexpected feast!

leap
\ˈlēp\
Verb
to spring free from or as if from the ground : jump (leap over a fence) (a fish leaps out of the water)
(a goat leaps for joy)

Goats leap,
and they scamper, bolt, jump, balance, clamber,
chase, push, butt, romp, roll,
tumble, and frolic.

Happy Friday, friends. We wish you all the best adjectives, nouns, plural nouns, and verbs!

Sylvia, thank you, for the inspiration for one of our more random, and amusing posts in recent memory.
