CAN'T BELL THE CAT, THOUGH :0s

Dee Ice and I went to the store today looking for grass seed. We are tired of the cat eating our house plants, so after finding the very last sprig of green frond from our fern thrown up in front of the door, we decided to go look at a chia pet we'd seen a few weeks ago. When we realized the chia pet grew wheat grass, we changed our minds and went to the grocery store and bought some wheat grass sprouts there. (Chia pets: $15.99/wheat grass at the store:$1.59. No brainer.) We brought it home and planted it in the fern's pot. The cat isn't interested in it all, but maybe she is just full of fern right now, and will try it later? I told Dee Ice I hoped we weren't stuck with a useless wheat grass plant now, and he looked at me incredulously and said, "You may not be able to kill a plant, but it won't bother me at all!" While we were looking at the chia pets, a woman was looking over the Christmas clearance nearby. She told me she was looking for bells. She said Santa's reindeer left her granddaughter one of their bells one Christmas when she was little, and ever since, and the granddaughter has saved them all in a collection. Each one is different, and some are new, some are antique, some are small, some are big. I thought that was such a cute little Christmas tradition. It made me wish the reindeer had left bells for my children. :0)
