Hide and Seek

I blogged about the Virginia Opossum on our deck and how if forced us to rethink our old cat food disposal method.  Short Version: We no longer dispose of it with the litter.

The other evening we returned home after dark, and as we approached the back door the broom fell down. Something we thought odd at the time. But is was cold and we didn't investigate.

A bit later that evening I went outside to get a beer. And heard something rustling around.

The Opossum was back. And quite frightened of me. So it tried to hide under the broom.

And when I moved the broom it continued to play possum. 

I took a couple of shots with my phone, grabbed a beer. and went back inside. 

When I went out for another beer Oppie was gone.
