Why was Mom pushing those leaves around tonight?
She wasn’t pushing them. That’s called raking.
I don’t care. Why was she doing it? She usually waits until later when it starts to get colder outside and the leaves turn pretty colors. Then the leaves get worn out from showing off and they fall off the trees and get crunchy. That’s when Mom usually pushes them around.
Remember the storm the other night?
You mean when the angels were playing with their flashlights and the clouds were clapping loudly at the pretty designs they were making?
You have such a strange imagination.
Then the angels all must have turned on their fans and their water faucets ‘cuz it got really windy and wet outside. There was some really loud noise when all those white ice pieces started hitting the roof and the windows.
Were you scared?
No. Mom didn’t seem to be afraid so I figured she would take care of us.
Well, the leaves got scared during that storm and they shook so hard that they jumped off the branches and landed everywhere.
Poor leaves.
Mom said the yard was such a mess that she had to get busy and clean it when she got home from work.
So that’s why we got to stay outside so long tonight?
Yep.
Mom worked really hard so we better let her sleep in the morning.
But she told me she likes to get up early to take her walk.
I’m sure she doesn’t want to get up as early as you do.
I’m just taking care of you. I know how hungry you get so I figure I better make sure Mom gets up and feeds us.
I don’t think Mom will believe that.
Whatever.

We would take our show on the road but Mom doesn’t want us going out of the back yard. Guess we’ll stay here and eat catnip. 😉
I get the feeling your human isn’t sleeping in tomorrow.
We made sure she got up early!
I’m glad you boys look out for yourselves since your Mom seems to be having so much fun pushing leaves around the yard! Humans are a strange lot, don’t you think???

Sammy, do you understand humans? Sometimes Mom has us so confused! 😉
I think they LIKE us to have trouble figuring us out. Some kind of weird human game I suppose!

Humans and their silly games. They should be like us and chase strings and bits of dust flying in the air. 🙂
doodz…….now wood bee a grate time ta haza soooper mega vacccum masheen…for yur mom taht iz !!~~~
We don’t like those noisy machines. At least when Mom uses the rake the only noises are her groans and moans. 😉
