As I was coming home last night, some creature skittered down from the squirrel feeder on the tree, and I don't know what it was. I caught a glimpse of it, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a squirrel. It seemed to be white with no tail or maybe a pink tail, kind of a big butt, and it lumbered away on the ground, not racing away gracefully into the trees like squirrels do. Any ideas? It could have been a rat or something, but do we have rats? And it seemed bigger and rounder.
Tho, the more I think about it, the more likely that it was a opossum. For some reason, I didn't think that they could climb, but I guess if they supposedly hang by their tails, they have to get up there somehow, huh? I always see them running across the road, or, more often, smooshed on the road. I've seen them in my neighborhood, but never at my house. Huh. I don't think they're scary- I just wish they wouldn't creep up to the squirrel feeder at night & steal their food!

Deal of the day: I found big plastic tubs at Kmart for 3 for $11. I love those tubs, especially while moving, but they're always kind of stupidly expensive for what's basically a box.
