I've been up sense 6am and it's just past midnight. But I have to key in this last reply before crashing tonight:
I have not seen an opossum here in nearly two years. An hour ago, I opened the door to let the cats in to eat and sleep overnight in the protection of our home. (We have a bad coyote and large cats problem here.) I opened the door, and I see this HUGE opossum that was very slow. It had more dark than white in its fur. It was so slow, I could have gone out and petted it.
Worth, it's because you wrote something about opossums coming to my house that it showed up tonight
Maybe it was the full moon?
