My favorite Saint - St. Francis of Assisi (1181/1182-October 3,1226) founded the religious order known as the Franciscans. He became renowned for his boundless love for animals and nature and on October 4th there is a special ceremony known as the Blessing of the Animals worldwide. His statue stands proudly on the grounds of our local church. Saint Francis is my entry for the current contest!!!!!!!!!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Somebody certainly takes the time to keep him sparkling clean; I could easily see other birds fooled by the two doves on him, figure it's safe, and make a perch--and a toilet--of him. Good luck in the contest, Laura.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
