A Photo A Day

I was tempted to post the picture of the opossum that decided to die by the step of my front porch yesterday, but I resisted. This is the Moore County Courthouse, located in Lynchburg, TN, the city made famous by Jack Daniels. Note the whisky keg on the left. Note also the motorcycle. There is a Harley shop located across from the front door of the courthouse, and there was a Harley party going on around the square, as well as country music piped in via loudspeakers. It was  a much livelier Sunday afternoon than any other courthouse we have visited.

My resistance has broken down. I almost stepped on this possum as I was coming back from the mailbox, shuffling through the mail and not paying attention to where I was walking! No one was very interested in removing it, so for about three hours yesterday, if you had come to see us, you would have had to step over this carcass to get to the porch. No jokes about us living in Possum Holler ……. unless you just can’t resist!
