*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s hard to tell one opossum from another opossum…..

And again………….I don’t think they’re All ours….. …..(damn that suburban farmer down the road)….. I didn’t notice it right away…(or I did’t feel a need to do something about it)…until the roosters came of age…and start crowing their faces off….. …..and then…I realized I’d waited too long………….again….. I’ve found that the older I get…sleep is an easily interrupted luxury…and it’s hard to regain…once it’s been squelched….. …..add to…
