Night Visitor and Mail and Mice

Last Week:  When you can't sleep and up are up before 3:00 AM, you might find the night visitors. 
 I haven't seen this fellow (if it is the same sir or madam) in quite a while, although I suspected a night visitor was helping the cats finish their food.  The bedraggled look is because it was raining, and a wet coat was the result.  The flash didn't bother this hungry possum, and even when I opened the door, he was reluctant to leave.  Don't blame him a bit, the rain was still coming down.


In Progress
After adding clay to the head of mouse #1, it looks less like a lizard. 
 Mouse #2 looks more like a rat.
Both have a long way to go.  :)
 

Incoming mail


Postcard from Melody about one of Singapore's must-eat meals.  
I'm just thinking she might like Louisiana sea food gumbo, too.  :)


Love stamps and this one is another cool one from Singapore.


Outgoing Mail


I've also sent two postcards that I failed to scan before mailing.


This makes me think of my aunt and uncle and their love of long-dogs.  :)
This will never not be cute.

      Thanks, Debra! Dachshunds lend themselves to humor, don't they? :)

    An interesting array of things shared in this post. Poor possums, often maligned but really beneficial critters. I'm not quite so fond of the raccoon under our house, which is driving Treble crazy.

      Possums are maligned, and not terribly attractive, but as they include slugs in their diet, I welcome our possum. Raccoons are cute, but can be destructive. Poor Treble!

    We had a visit from a hedghog once. It was interrogating a milk bottle! Always fun to have visitors like that, isn't it!

      I would love to see a hedgehog interrogating a milk bottle! :)

    Love the cartoon. I like your #2 mouse. I guess it MIGHT look like a rat, but a very cute rat. We have all those little critters around here and I don't mind if they eat the left over bread I put out for the crows. I have politely asked them to leave the bird seed though.
    xx, Carol

      That reminds me of the night I left a note for my husband saying that we had a mouse. In the morning, I found his reply stating that since we already had a dogs, we couldn't afford to keep a mouse. :)

    Your critters, both the furry ones and those made with clay, look mighty happy. And why shouldn't they be, for a house with such delightful incoming and outcoming mail has to be a happy place!

    Thank you! The cartoon makes me smile.
    I think possums have mellow personalities, not bothered by much.

      Possums are funny creatures, and I wonder where this one lives. Does he travel the neighborhood, house by house? The cats don't seem to bother him at all. :)

Good to hear from you!
