Playing Possum

A recent visitor to our yard had the kids fooled. Our dog Dallas constantly escapes, and she will attack and kill stray cats that get into our yard. On this particular day, she had escaped once again and was pouncing on this stray visitor.

The kids got the dog put away back in the dog pen. But they were so upset, thinking this "cat" was dead. It was laying over and was very still.

But no, it was just a possum, pretending to be dead! Very soon after the dog was put back in the pen, the possum got up and mosied on out of the yard. I bet it won't be coming back any time soon. :)

I Surrender!

At least, that's what I think Daniel meant when he put up 3 white flags in our garden. He is really proud of these little white flags that he made. So creative! I'm not sure what purpose they serve, but they're here and he checks on them every day. :)
