Here is Spot checking out the toy possum. The door to the space is standing open.
It still stunk under the porch so I raked out a lot of the straw that was under the possum and took it and one of the bales to the city recycle site. I was still smelling something so got a flashlight and peered in. Now I know where all those succulent suicidal squirrels ended up. Something had been digging up all my squirrel burials and carting away the remains for a while--now I know who.
It smells a lot better on the patio now.
In other news this is my Magnolia x Soulangiana or Tulip Tree as we call them here, today.
It should look like this right now.
That's not gonna happen this year because of this a few weeks ago.
All the buds that hadn't opened are filled with brown mush and are falling off the tree. At least the lilacs are doing great, and the Black Currant (ribes nigrum) smells wonderful. (That really helped with the smell of the feculent possum.)
