Possom - Cup Plant - Sit Spot #901 - July 16, 2021

Oops !

Trying to catch a rat

I caught a baby opossum.

Only a couple of toes in the trap. 

It walked away with only a small limp.

They eat ticks so I was happy

it was not too badly hurt!

1st Cup Plant Bloom

We have well over 100 plants now

scattered about our property

so soon will have lots of colour

I am mowing down a lot to try to keep 

a little control over them.

(This one is trying to hide behind

the lilac bush. One can see various groups further back.)
