Just wanted to share a pic of a local critter who decided to eat the cat food on our back stoop last night. I have shared pics before of the wildlife around here but this one was special - my daughter and I were actually able to sit right behind the screen door a mere foot away from this possum! After watching her a few minutes, we discovered why...look at her belly, folks. Alli and I watched this possums babies moving around in her pouch! It was really neat! Poor thing was really hungry cuz she was feeding young uns too. 
Just FYI: Possums are the ONLY marsupial in all of North America, and I for one, think it is awesome! A lot of people think these critters are ugly but I think theyre kinda cute.
And actually, you really WANT to have possums around your home. They are the equivalent of land vultures, they eat all kinds of carrion and garbage etc and eat rodents around your house.

Hi Sharon: Your mother possom is adorable, and you are very fortunate to be so close to her......all creatures have their place and we can learn a lot from them. It is very upsetting learning about more and more animals, birds and plants being placed on the endangered species list......Dianne
Sharon, I want to second Dianne's message word for word. Ralph.
