what's in the truck?

Yes, that's a possum. Dianne caught it in a trap in her barn. I had been wishing for a possum—they are known to eat thousands of ticks—so Dianne offered me hers. I met her at the hayfield to pick it up, popped it in the truck with my giant $7 fern (and cooler, of course) and drove back to the Goose. I put out some food and water, let it loose and it waddled off into the bushes without eating, eager to get away. I hope it thrives. Looked like a pregnant she to me.
