Opossum Evening
At about 11pm I felt there was something in the yard, so I turned on the flood light and startled a very large opossum who was eating bugs near the back door. He slowly lumbered all the way across the lawn, back behind the duck pens and up away into the ivy hill.
Good night, opossum.
Later, at about midnight, I had a feeling the opossum had returned. So I turned on the flood light again. This time it was a different opossum, eating a few bits of leftover corn treats the ducks had left behind today at treat time. The little opossum grabbed as much corn as he could before retreating from the flood light into the darkness.
Good night, opossum #2.
I see you. Sweet dreams.

Woah, so much wild life in the city:-) First coons, now possoms!
I rememebr you have a resident opossum that vists regularly, would this have been him/her, and with offspring perhaps?
They are cute critters, I once had the privilege to meet one on Paul’s parents driveway in Oklahoma.
Love the night time cleaning crew! Now if they only did windows!
That means less bugs for Flap and his buddies the next day. Thanks for turning me onto Planker in the UK. We have been chatting.
