A Blessing of Bats

At UUWC Retreat this weekend. A lovely evening on Friday, a group of us went outside onto the deck to drum. Judging from my experience at home lately I expected to be driven back inside after a short time by mosquitos. There were mosquitos around, but in short order there appeared a group of several bats swooping over and around us. We drummed and talked into the night without being eaten alive. Thank you bats. I am imagining the bats being grateful to us for being the bait for their dinner!
