Chia

This is Sport's chia pet. Remember the chia?  You last saw it on the railing of the deck in town.  You can see it here.  Sport planted it with lettuce seeds and has been faithfully watering it.  I particularly like the use of the bottle he found at - where else? - the house in town.   I don't know about you, but I was previously unfamiliar with chia pets - they're made of unglazed clay and hollow inside.  You fill them with water, which then soaks through the clay.  Sport uses the bottle to fill the chia's (is it a goat?) body, then stores it in the hole in it's neck.  Charming.
