D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

[weofodthignen]

The other night, when I took Bear out before leaving for work, someone was in a neighboring back yard panning a flashlight beam through the branches of a large tree. I figured a cat had got loose. Then when I left via the driveway, there was a tremendous rustling in the camellias behind their back fence, next to our compost bin; so I peered into the depths of the boscage by the light of the security light mounted by the back door, to find a young possum halfway up the bush, at about my eye level.
