Eric's Day Flashback - The Big Adventure

This week the flashback comes from August 2008 and is called:
An Adventure.

Dad had left the door open to the implement shed so we went in for a look around.
Flynn: Come over here Eric and smell the hay baler. It's very interesting.
Eric: I can't right now. I've found something much more interesting than that.

Eric: Look Flynn, see what I've found. It's a toad but you don't want to pick them up or taste them because they make your mouth froth.

We managed to drag ourselves away from watching Mr. Toad and went into the field.
Eric: I think I hear something down there.

What was it, where did it go?

We walked further into the field but something was wrong. It smelled the same as usual, but something had definitely changed. Can anycat see what is different?

Eric: I don't know about you Flynn but I don't like this one bit.

Flynn: I agree, I'm worried. Something has been going on here without us knowing about it.

Eric: It's no good, I can't relax.

Flynn: Me neither.

Flynn: That's it, I've had enough. I'm going to bush my tail up to scare off any intruders and I'm going back to the garden.

Eric: Okay but wait while I have a drink. All this worry has made me thirsty.

Did anycat see what was different in our fields?

Dad had been working with his tractor and he had made all the grass go flat. It didn't look right, and it didn't feel right to walk on. It made us very nervous. We didn't like it at all.

  5. How naughty of your Dad to flatten the grass - how will you be able to catch mice if they can see you coming.

  17. I am trying hard to see what is different but don't see anything! Was it a kitty? Love, Cody

  18. When something is different and you don't know what it is, it can make a cat a bit anxious. I don't blame you boys for moving on from there.

  19. Oh, the grass is flat! No slinking through the tall stalks, no swishing grass sounds. That's not right. Good to know! Purrs....

  21. Flattened grass is not natural but easier to spot prey? Love the reflective water pic.

  22. Whew! I was afraid he’d actually cut the grass. Guess what? TW bought some airmail stamps so I can send you a Christmas cards with a surprise in it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. WOW! we think we might have bushed out at that, too.

    Flynn, Miss Pea is all excited that she got a card addressed JUST to her...we can hardly live with her nowadays! Thank you!

  25. Flat grass! Evil toads! Goodness gracious!
    We'd think that the flattened grass would feel delightful on the feeties. But then we've never lived in an area with grass. Looks heavenly .....sigh.....
