I will freely admit to being an opossum convert. There was something about them that made me uneasy. But over the years we've all learned so much more about the wonderful critters.





1. Opossums eat ticks by the thousands.
2. They are North America's only known marsupial.
3. They are very agile.
4. We can thank opossums for snake bite anti-venom
5. They have high levels of immunity so they rarely if ever contract rabies.

So here's to a great American animal. I'd rather have them then then.... well you know.

Have a great weekend, stay safe, and Happy 4th a bit early.
