The Water Main and the Cats

The city of Arvada has decided to replace the water main on our street as a preventative measure. I am very glad that they recognized that the main needed to be replaced before my basement was flooded or we were out of water for weeks on end because it broke. The construction on our street started last week. We have had several large piles of dirt in front of our house, real live big tonka trucks and other diggers, and men in bright hats and vests all over our street, oh- and the lovely new port-o-potty that sits in front of our house is making quite the yard ornament. The cats absolutely love to sit on the top of the couch and watch out the window to supervise- if you will- the happenings of the construction. They are so darn cute! This morning they only left there post for breakfast and then as soon as construction started they were at their perch. I'm pretty sure that Bogart likes to watch more than Audrey, he is so vocal in the evenings when we get home now. It is as if he is trying to tell us all about the progress of the day. And I think that he is missing his naps during the day because he usually eats and goes right to sleep on the top of the couch- just in case the constructions starts again.
