One of my favorite stories from the lives of saints is Saint
Martin De Porres. Legend has it that
he could talk to animals. The story goes that the priory was becoming
overrun with mice, so Martin had a talk with them and they didn’t bother the
priory, anymore. They were everywhere
but they were never seen in the priory again.
I always thought that Martin laid out food for the mice in
the barn. Why go hunt for food in the
priory when you can get it more easily in the barn?
That was until this year.
Rabbits are eating my flowers and vegetables. I tried pulling the De Porres trick. I leave lots of lettuce and vegetable scrapes
out for the animals, so they’ll leave my garden alone. They don’t.
So what’s wrong, St. Martin de Porres?
