Well, I've learned more about opossums in the Upper Valley than I knew before yesterday.  Thanks to all of you who responded.  Apparently they've been around for at least a decade.  

I particularly liked hearing from Mary Holland who wrote, "how great (at least I think so) to have a live one at your doorstep!" 

It doesn't appear to be around today about which (unlike Mary) I'm delighted.
