Willy Nilly Friday Five - The story of a shed and a opossum.

 Happy Friday!

So this week I'm joining Tom (The backroadstraveller) for

WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE - but in a different way since this is more of a story then 5 photos of different things.

Last Saturday (3rd) we had quite an eventful morning.  

1.  My niece and her husband came to see if they could remove my mom's old storage shed since we are replacing it with 2 new sheds.

That's my nieces husband on the trailer getting ready to start removing the shed.

2.After a lot of work they were able to get the shed up off the ground.

3. That's when we discovered that the shed had an occupant living under it.

Yep, Mr. Opossum had been quite comfy in his underground home and was not to pleased about us removing it.

 

4.  See how many little nest like holes he had made to keep himself warm.

 5. Poor fellow got so scared that he turned around and headed back the other direction and spent a good portion of the morning hiding in a small cramped space because he was to afraid to come out. See that little green house at the back of the photo.  He hid behind there between the fence and the neighbors property.

6.  Meanwhile the shed removal continued.

Getting it up onto the pallet and trailer.

 

 Pushing it onto the pallet.

 

7.  Heading down the driveway and onto the street towards it new home.

 8. Meanwhile back at the ranch...They managed to bang on the fence and such enough to scare the opossum out of it's hiding place.

But instead of him heading into the opening between the fence and the back neighbors yard he decided to run into my husband's shop.  That's when the fun began.

 

9. Coleen and Adam went inside the shop and tried to capture the opossum.  Coleen was finally able to net him with a fishing net but he managed to crawl on top of the net so she ended up carrying him all the way around the house and down the driveway on top of the net. We had in the mean time closed the door to my husbands shop and she was able to put him on top of the fence.

 10.  He went up the tree and stayed there for awhile before moving on.

 I asked my niece if she wanted us to bring him up to their place so he could take up residence again in his old home but she wasn't going for that idea. 

 

So that's our tale of the Opossum and the Shed.  Hope you have enjoyed it.
