But, I got a text from Brent on Friday saying, "you will never guess what I found in our back yard." I mean, we have already found a snake or two in the back, so surely it's not ANOTHER snake..and then I get this picture.
Do you know what it is!? TWO BABY POSSUMS!!
Brent was outside in the yard (imagine that!) while I went to go pick up Ezra and his friend Kate from school. Jager was going crazy and barking at this bucket that we have. The kids usually play with it and we use it for different things. It had just been sitting in the back yard with some water in it from the sprinklers. Apparently, these possums (with their mom) were in our yard thursday night, probably eating our Japanese plums on a tree we have in our yard, and needed a drink. They probably hopped in the bucket with their mom and then weren't able to get out on their own. When Brent found them, they didn't even really move. Just stuck by each other. They were little! Probably still needing their mom. Brent, Ezra, Kate, and Emersyn walked them down to the creek by our house in the bucket on a wagon. They let them go by a tree. Right when they were dumped out of the bucket, they climbed right up the tree.
Hopefully their mom gets out of our yard and goes to look for her babies!
