it's a garden and play area- not a lu

It's not that I'm not an animal lover...
I do love them.. But, I have children to clean up after-
I really don't care for more mess...
I love to go to the zoo, I love to read about all kinds
with my kids, we can play with the dogs at grandma/pa's..
and come back home to a quiet house..
maybe some day I will sway..and adopt one..

I just don't want to see stray kittys
in my yarn, in my garden or in my sandbox-
cause mom- I am..

I was glad to see that I have some things cats
hate.. lavender, lemon, coffee and peppermint..
so we can try an experiment-
yet this morning..
ahh, the thought to be rid of them in a kind way..
and I do want to be nice, but it's up to them-
I do have plastic forks to plant too..

Here is my research...and things I will try..
steps to keep cats away
