Bananas

"Lynn, I didn't think you saw all the 'naners in the kitty posts

we visit!"

I had noticed all the cats going bananas for a  'naner, as

we call 'em here.  And I never gave it a thought to try to figure

out where to buy one.  Precious is so bad about using new

toys that it is a waste of money. Better spent on her food!

It was by chance I saw it when I had to go to our only

big box dept. store to buy cat food. I keep 2 sacks at all

times nowa days, and when my big grocery did not have it

I had to go else where. And both big chain stores only have

small versions of the "big" store in our little city.

Anyways,  I found the Purina One Indoor and was glad

to see they had lots. So I got greedy and bought 2. I did this

in case we have really bad weather this winter.  I glanced

around at the lack of Fancy Feast, which we don't use and

saw the small display of cat toys.  Lo and behold, a

BANANA was hanging there and not the kind I eat.

So I quickly gave in to the urge to buy, got the bags

of cat food and quickly checked out and headed home.

Going into any store is just no fun anymore. 

" I know, Lynn, the bananas you eat stink. They make my

nose curl every time I sniff them. And I always ask to have

a sniff.  This 'naner is perfectly ripe and smells great."

As a side note, those interested in the Ash trees decline,

25 years ago there abouts, the Emerald Ash Borer from

Asia was imported accidentally on a shipment of living

non-native ornamental plants.  They lay their eggs in the

bark and within 2 years, the larvae kill the tree eating

the soft under tissue.  The ash in Michigan, where they

entered port, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois are losing the

trees by the millions. Eventually they will be completely

gone across the Americas.
