Okay.... So I went outside to hose down the "patio" and clean the birdbath. I went to put something back behind the shed, and figured I'd check to see if there was any evidence that the kids have still been cutting through our yard. When I pulled the bushes out of the front yard because they were dying, I threw them in the corner behind the shed to block the kids' path. And when I went out there today, I saw something in one of the bushes. I wasn't sure what it was. Thought the kids had been out there and left something.......
When I got about 3 feet away, I realized what I was looking at..... An opossum! It was just curled up and sleeping there. I couldn't believe it slept through me walking out there in my flip-flops. It wasn't like I was quiet. Since I didn't wake it up, I went to grab the camera and got a couple pics. Then I went back to work.
A few minutes later. I turned around and saw sleepyhead staring at me....
Then it went under the shed (not IN it, thankfully). And I came in here to share it with you.

Oh man!!! I had one on my back porch, in my broken Pet Carrier that I kept out there for the local strays to get into for shelter if they needed it. And He DID NOT want to leave!!! It was so ugly and scarey that I called the police to help me!!! (they just laughed at me, but did help to get rid of it) So, there are not many animals that I'm afraid of, but Oppossum fit the bill!!!
