can we all just agree that it's kind of surprising to find a possum in your yard?

there it was, just hangin out, chillaxin (thanks, paws!)...not at all perturbed by the presence of audra and me. odd.

sarah said...: no, in fact it took off before the germans could see it, much to their disappointment. there was a lot of debate over whether or not it was in fact a rat, after i found some possum pix online, but they finally concluded that it was, in fact, a separate animal. and they were sad to have missed it. because they thought it was cute.; 5:16 PM

sarah said...: huh, i always thought "possum" and "opossum" were interchangeable. i mostly thought it was scary because it was so unconcerned by the presence of people. opossums don't really scare me, but potentially rabid ones do.; 11:34 AM
