First, possum news--Frankie, Lulu, and Oscar no longer come around.
Two new possums showed up--really skittish ones--never stayed long
enough to finish the food--eat for about 10 minutes and then left. I
woke up at 0200 one night and looked and saw a "possum" standing
on his hind legs. My first racoon. And the Possum Trot Cafe is
officially closed. Possums are one thing--racoons do carry rabies; they
will bite. Not the kind of animal you want hanging around your house.
At least the weather is warmer, so I did manage to feed the possums
through the winter.
The blue birds--I haven't seen in a while, so I guess they left before we
got their houses placed. I haven't seen the barn swallows in a while either.
It will soon be time for the hummers. I have feeders ready and waiting
for them.
The plum tree is blooming out; daffodils are in bloom. The Forsythia bushes
are blooming. I love Spring!
