» Renie_Burghardt - Hmm,

I think I'll stick to good old turkey, for Thanksgiving. However, the article was most enjoyable.

When I first moved to the country, having been a city dweller for many years, I did think that that first opossum I saw was a rat. You should have heard me shrieking! And for a while, I waged a war against them because they would sometimes find their way into the chicken coop. But then, I learned to secure the coop better and I've learned to live with them, since opossums are very much part of the woods I live in.

I didn't know opossums lived in trees. I have one that lives under my house!

Neat article. Thank you, Virginia!

Renie

» Dubh_Sidhe - Hi Reni!

If you have one that lives under your house you may be lucky, since they will eat anything--field mice, snakes etc. Actually, the article was simply literary fun--I have never tasted one in my life!
I prefer Tiffany's to Wall Mart, gold to brass and also turkey to possum. Thanks for your visit! Hope summer is being nice to you and yours.

» Tina_Coruth - What a delightful article!

What a delightful article! I, too, have never tasted opposum. I've never even seen a live one, only in pictures and on television nature programs. I enjoyed your article, and now I'll have to check out all those great links. Thanks!

» Dubh_Sidhe - Hi Christina...

...and thanks! Well, summer is almost gone--one more month before school starts. Actually less. Ours start Monday August 14. I think that is really too early. They should all wait till after Labor Day. But it will be nice to have walking space on the beach!
