Just another day at the Dickinsons...

So, Steve and I were going through our usual morning routine, brekky for us, then feeding Jes...when we both stepped out onto our back deck to make sure Jesse had water in his bowl. Then, all of a sudden, we hear this racket coming from our roof and we turn to see a possum (an Australian possum...different from an American one) scrambling off our roof and nose diving into the tree right beside us. We then see ducks (yes...ducks or at least what we think were ducks...they quacked like ducks and looked like ducks, soooo... I'm thinking they were ducks) chasing the poor possum away. The ducks continued to quack, from their nifty little perch on our roof, until Jesse realized they were up there. Jes then, of course, tried to match their quacks with "Oh my goodness...not sure if you guys know this buuuuut...there are ducks on our roof!" barks. He was going slightly mental. Meanwhile, the poor possum, obviously scared to death, stayed perfectly still in the tree, hoping we would all just go away. So, yup, just another day in the Dickinson household...okay, well maybe not...Here's a video that Steve took, just after the drama unfolded...and a few pics...
