I'll admit it. I'm shy, and strange noises startle me.

Since we've moved to California, it seems I'm always hiding in the cupboard above the fridge, which is a very nice spot, thank-you-very-much. I heard mommee thinking out loud this morning that maybe she should put sometime soft in there for me to lie on, since I tend to spend so much time there.

Yes! Yes!

My cave, AKA safe space.

The other day, we heard a VERY strange noise, a new one. (As if there aren't enough new ones.)

This is what caused it:

Crazy humans waving as they go over our house.

See that basket? Who would even want to ride in that, hundreds of feet in the air with nothing between you and the ground? And flames right over your head. It's craziness! 

However, from what I've been told, being in one of these things, which are called Hot Air Balloons, is very calming. There's no sound of rushing wind, because it goes with the wind. 

You also don't know where you're going to end up. It really depends upon which...
