Shoutout to the squirrel that rearranged my succulent garden

Last week, I spent a whole afternoon setting up my new succulent display on the back porch. I carefully placed each pot in a nice pattern, thinking it looked perfect. The next morning, I found them all pushed together in a messy heap. There were little paw prints all over the soil, and I knew right away it was a squirrel. I looked up and saw it sitting on the fence, just staring at me like it had done a good job. It had even dug up a small cactus and put it on top of the pile, as if to say 'ta-da!'. I could not help but laugh at the silly scene. Now I check each day to see if my furry friend has added any new touches to my plant setup.

Your squirrel making that cactus the centerpiece is a bold move. Mine just knocks my pots over. At least yours has some artistic vision.

Actually, that's an aloe plant!

Just to be that guy, aloe is a succulent, not a cactus. Still a bold choice by the squirrel though.
