creepy noises at night that keep me awake

Why am I up at 2am?


Because we live on 40-acres out in the middle of a kazillion other acres, without a guard/bark dog and there are these dang varmints making all this creepy noise!  It sounds like someone is on our porch and or under the house...arrrgh!


I know what it is and that it cannot get in the house, but the sound tells my brain otherwise.  It's only a possum or raccoon or wild cat, but sounds human at times...yuck!
If it were human, I could step out on the porch and say, "My husband has his 30-30 loaded and ready," and that'd be it.  You can't say that to a possum under the house.  He could give a poop-dee-doo what you say about your 30-30.  All he cares about is what's to eat around down there.


So... after my husband has had a good night's sleep, I'll ask him take the trap under the house so I can sleep the next night. In the mean time, I'll also be sweet-talkin' to him about getting another dog.

ADONAI is my light and my salvation;
whom do I need to fear?
ADONAI is the stronghold of my life;
of whom should I be afraid?
