Never take your plant for granted!

As I walked to the flowerbed this morning to pick up May and be on my merry way, I was agast to see that May was gone. Her little green pot was knocked over and inside it were some corn kernals and a peanut still in its shell. It seems that May was evicted by a squirrel so he could stash some food for the winter. I just stood there and thought "stupid squirrel, geeze all summer May has lived in her little green pot and this morning poof, gone". I was actually looking forward to starting my relationship so to speak with my little baby maple tree. Bummer, heavy sigh.
