A Possum in the Neighborhood

Early this morning an opossum paid a visit to our neighborhood. From the neighbor's yard across the stree, it crossed the road and our front yard and evenyually found its way underneath our right side neighbor's deck.

I had never seen one in Vermont before, but they are common now, although when the state was settled, there were none north of Pennsylvania, according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.

Strange to see one, but our Airedales and the neighbor's dog and cat were unaware of it.
