Spring Opossum

I saw one of these large marsupials on this super-paved, fenced-in little yard of a three flat on Friday. It was shocking to see this rather large creature sniffing around in a relatively dense residential neighborhood at 7 a.m. Especially because they are nocturnal.

Coincidentally, it was also a gorgeous "spring" day. The light coat and lack of hat made me feel more vulnerable to the opossum, if he decided to go rabid on my ass. But, now the weather has turned cold again, and it is supposed to snow tomorrow. I think the spring opossum sighting was a little more apropos for this spring than the whole groundhog thing.

Mannequin update: the March outfit is a black dress with some kind of purple smock-shawl. I'll try to get a picture soon.
