Such a perfect posting - you never stop amazing me!
Your title made me laugh. Happy Feast Day!
he was my favourite saint when I was young.
Peace and cuddles for the wee beasties.
OK, all the animals, but with a few exceptions you know well!
A very nice post!
Yesterday we celebrated Animal Day.
I didn't realise that it was The Feast of St. Francis! Well but it stands to reason that he is the patron saint of the animals. Now I understand....
Peace to everyone!
A great saint indeed.
Pace e bene a tutti!
