Niagara on the Lake

It's about 10:45 pm on Monday April 29. I was just looking out my kitchen sliding doors when I noticed a Possum coming out from under my deck.

Last summer I thought I had closed up the space under the new deck, but apparently I missed a spot and the neighborhood Possum found it.

Last Fall a neighbour hired a contractor to erect a new shed and tear down the old wooden one. I cautioned him not to reach under the old shed since there was evidence a creature may have been living under it.

As the contractor toppled the old shed a Possum ran out and took off for parts unknown.

I guess he's back. Now he's my problem!
