I heard weird noises during the night

I heard weird noises during the night. It sounded like the wind blowing aluminum trashcans around or something similar. I don't know what it was because I didn't get up and look out. I haven't looked out my front door yet because it's still dark outside. I suppose I should, but I'm not. I have too much too do this morning to worry about what's outside. If there is a problem, the I'll deal with it when daylight comes.

The weird thing is I don't think the wind was blowing very much last night. In addition, my bedroom is at the back of the house, so I shouldn't have been hearing anything going on in front of the house. When the wind blew the elm tree down in February, I didn't hear anything at all. So what ever was going on, was going on either in my backyard or one of the neighbors backyards.

Part of me says I should be worried about it and part of me says there is nothing to worry about. I'll have another couple of cups of coffee, then I'll find my shoes and go outside to see what's up in the front of the house. I'm not going in the back until after dawn. It's dark out there and there are spiders. All right, neither of those is a good excuse for not investigating weird noises in the middle of the night or any of time of the day, but they are my excuses and I'm sticking with them.
