Who are you Mr. Possum?
So, while Brian is out of town, I'm in charge of the whole house and all the strange noises that go with it...last night I'm in the living room and I hear this loud, strange noise...thinking 'ok, there are kids out there stealing my Halloween decorations', I open the front door - to come face to face with a possum who had been digging the cat food on the porch...he looked at me and I looked at him and he just casually walked down the steps (they aren't very fast moving)...I'm just glad he didn't charge at my legs, and that Bagheera didn't charge out the door to attack him (B killed two possum babies at the Austin house and he was SO proud of himself)...
But the Halloween decorations are fine...they aren't that spiffy, and folks around here are pretty docile, but I didn't expect to have them stolen in Austin and they were, so I'm a little suspect...but its fine...whatever...I'd rather they steal the decorations than steal my yard tools! heh...I NEED my hoe, weed eater, lawn mower and shovel!! I don't NEED plug-in pumpkins all that much...
I took Lady with me in the truck last night, she loves to go for rides..I think i'm gonna take her to the PO today and out for a walk...try to exhaust her cause she has more energy than any of us...she's a good dog...she needs to run...she found that possum last night and I had to bring her inside before she got a faceful of one of those...
The cool weather is coming down w/ a vengence - it'll be in the 70's next week...i know, I hear you laughing...but considering it'll be 90 today, I'm grateful for 70's...at least the mornings and evenings are cool and comfortable..I've been leaving the doors open while working at the torch and its so great...aaahhhh...
