Well, I had an exciting weekend, which is running into today!!

We have baby Opossums in our home!!!!

It is a rather long story, but will try to sum it up!

On Friday night, we heard a noise in our bedroom, and thought it was one of our cats. But, than we heard it hiss, only one of cats have ever hissed and that is at strangers. We could see the things tail which appeared to be a rats tail, so we managed to get it in a box, and threw the box with the critter in it, into the creek. We thought the problem was solved!

Saturday night, DH, seen a "rat" in the laundry room, so I send him to WalMart for rat traps, rat poison, and humanity traps. And than pulled the dryer front, and let Miss Princess kitty go through the hole in the wall, to see of she could scare them out. She did not scare them out, but, she brought one out, it was a freaking baby Opossum!!!!

As of this morning, we have five baby Opossums in a big fish aquarium, and one that is in the couch(hoping that one comes out tonight). Once we are sure we have them all we will take them to where ever it is that the WildLife Management tells us to!! Apparently the "Rat" we booted into the creek was the Momma Opossum!!!

Frugal was acquiring several plants from my Mom when I visited her yesterday. They are both indoor and outdoor plants. Some black eyed susans, marigolds, and bleeding hearts for outside, and two indoor plants, one she called a Herman plant, not sure if she even mentioned the name of the other one!

DS, mowed my parents' neighbors' yard. So Grandpa paid him for that.
