Library Petting Zoo

Passersby at the library yesterday might have wondered what all the commotion was about. Hundreds of children turned out to talk to the animals at the petting zoo on the front lawn.

Cows, donkeys, goats, rabbits, pigs and even a porcupine greeted their guests beneath a sprawling shade tree. (I haven't heard how many children petted the porcupine!)

Midway Madness

The ears are perked, but the eyes convey aggravation. This farm friend at the petting zoo had a sideline view of the Midway at the Central Alabama Fair last week. I don't think it was appreciated!
