Last weekend was full of animal events.
First we went to the Harvest Festival at Baily's Dairy in Pocopson, where we said hello to cows, chickens, ducks, and goats, watched a master pumpkin carver at work and enjoyed an apple-cider float with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle.
And on Sunday I took our sweet rescue cat Clarence to the annual Pet Blessing at the Unionville Presbyterian Church. The pastor, Rev. Annalie Korengel, said a prayer over the little guy and gave him a Certificate of Blessing and a little St. Francis medal.
Also at the Pet Blessing was a menagerie brought by an outfit called Critter Connections: the kids in attendance had the opportunity to handle a variety of snakes, lizards, tortoises, a tarantula, a rabbit and a guinea pig. Mike, the fellow in charge of the creatures, explained that because it was a chilly day, the cold-blooded animals appreciated the warmth of human skin.
