Mystery Solved!

On my front porch, I have some flowerpots with a spike, some pansies, and another little flower. The other night, I was talking to Jeremy and he asked me who squashed my flowers on the left of the porch. He said the spike was bent and all the flowers were flat. I went out and looked and sure enough, everything was flattened and broken off. It looked like someone had sat on the pot (haha).

Now, last winter, our new neighbor admitted to the other neighbor that he'd had a little trouble finding his way home in a drunken stupor and spent part of the early morning hours sitting on our front porch. I thought, for certain he'd had a repeat performance.

I watered my poor squished plants and they were just starting to perk up again.

Jeremy called me at work and said he'd found out what happened to my plants.

He walked out the front door and there was my sweet Jacob with a broom, beating my flowerpot like an old rug.

Those perky plants - are now flat again...
