Outside Wonders!

This morning Mandy opened up the doors and let us explore outside! Sam has been busy with that goopy concoction outside, and this morning I was able to examine his handiwork. He is doing a fine job, although I noticed a few places he has marked for touch-ups. However, I noticed the most particular change outside. It’s absolutely extraordinary! There is a hole in the ground next to the big tub!

I only noticed it today. I do not believe this hole existed before; otherwise I am certain I would have observed it. There used to be a small square that was different than the rest of the patio right next to the big tub. I could often hear water running underneath it, but I could never see the water. However today, the square was magically uncovered! I could see the water washing from the big tub into this small space. There is a bucket in this space and it catches all sorts of dirty wet items such as leaves and bugs. It is absolutely gross! I spent a long while staring at this hole in the ground. I think it would be rather dangerous, and I do hope that Mandy and Sam can either replace the cover or fix the ground. Mandy said it was because of the work Sam was doing. He had to move the cover so it was not painted in that smelly goop. Mandy tried to snap my picture while I was intrigued with this hole, but I am always aware of Mandy’s inner shutterbug, and casually walked away every time she grabbed the camera.

I tried to show Elway my discovery, but he was on guard mode. Mandy was cleaning the windows again. This time she was outside with me, and she was standing on the footstool. Elway watched closely to make sure everything Mandy did was safe. He also sat on the inside and pointed out spots she missed. I did notice that Elway did not have to point out spots very often.

Mandy has finished most of the outside windows. And now she is working in the house. Thankfully, I think lunch time is coming soon. Mandy has been very kind to share her food with us lately, so I look forward to her mealtimes as much as my own.
