OK…It is Friday and I am feeling a little silly…
Believe it or not, this funny poster is showing up all over a Seattle neighborhood. My gardening friends Robin Haglund and Bob Albert saw it and photographed it. I wonder if anyone fell for it.
I blocked out part of the phone number before posting it here. Robin said that some poor Seattle woman is getting all the phone calls. She apparently DID find a cat…a real cat…and this poster is re-using her phone number.
So how is this related to gardening?????
We had a similar visitor last year in our train garden.
I have a G-Scale train track running through my herb garden and one day I discovered a baby opossum wondering around the track in the early morning light. He seemed way too young to be without his mother. He was tiny!
We named our little visitor Willard and he lived in one of our train out-buildings for about five days before moving on. (At least we hope that is what happened and not that he was eaten by someone!)
It was really cute how he moved in to the miniature stable and acted like it was built just for him/her.
I guess our garden really is a wildlife habitat after all!!

Your possum is cute. Those other ones on the poster are scary!
I know Sarah!!!
Honestly, I think most possums are scary when you get close to them. It’s just that the one we found was a tiny baby. He probably would only be cute for about 2 weeks. LOL
Baby possums are cute, but…then they grow up and harass your chickens…ARGH!
That poster was hilarious! Poor woman whose phone number it was…
Yeah Teresa, I worry about the possums with our chickens. We have a special lock on the hen house that is supposed to be raccoon and possum proof. We shall see…Hopefully we do not have smart possums in our town!
