It was a tremendously long day yesterday, was away from home for over 12 hours!
 
Finally trying to get to the kids ready and in bed, the dog went out to go potty, as usual he started barking.   Our dear son looked out and screamed "there's a possum on the fence".  Of course we thought he was joking, as he tends to do a lot of these days.  Not this time, a possum truly was walking along the top of our backyard fence behind the bamboo, I think the dog wanted to play with it.

We corralled the dog and got the camera, in 12 years of living in our neighborhood we've never seen a possum, let alone this close up.  He became cornered behind the arbor vitae at the corner of the fence and just sat there for a good hour.  What poor ugly creatures with red glowing eyes and freakishly long tails that inspire the heebie jeebies.
