When Tom looked out at the bird feeder this morning, he saw a strange sight: no birds.But at the foot of the feeder, rooting around in the grass, was a possum. Or an opossum. Whichever.
It stayed for quite a while, not even bothering to look up when I opened the door to let the cats out onto the deck. The cats didn't pay much attention to the possum either until it waddled away into the woods. Then for some reason they got interested.
So that's the critter du jour. Lovely, huh?

For the younger Doddlings, the title of this post refers to a famous line by Walt Kelly's comic strip possum, Pogo. I think the original context was pollution, but the line has come to refer to many other things as well.
