A Breeze at the Door

The front door was cracked open just a sliver! I scampered right across the floorboards to peek through the gap. A swirl of cool morning air carried in a crunchy brown oak leaf, tumbling it right onto the ribbed welcome mat. I pounced with both front paws to catch it before it blew away! The leaf gave a crisp little crackle under my touch. Looking past the mat, the green lawn was sparkling with morning dew, practically waving me outside.
