ANIMALS: Furry and scaly friends

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.
