Edgarina Visits

When this possum first started coming into the shed to eat and drink, I named it Edgar because it was A. Guest. But when she had babies, my daughter called her Edgarina, and it stuck. 

When the babies were a couple of months old, Edgarina would come in almost daily, curl up in the corner and take a nap for an hour or two. Sometimes a mom just needs to get away from the kids.

Edgarina and her two surviving babies, Scury and Flurry, still come to visit. The babies ofen spend part of the night on the otherwise-unused cat condo. The cats and possums ignore each other, but the possums are scared of me. I tried petting the babies, but it just gterrified them.
