You little [profanity profanity] squirrel!

I went out to water my hot pepper plant this morning (benefits of having a balcony) and found, to my dismay, a few torn leaves, some disturbed soil scattered around, a shallowly-buried broken acorn shell, and no sign of either the large pepper my plant had been growing or a couple of the more promising sprouts. In other words, some stupid squirrel munched my dang peppers!

Grrrrrrr. :(

At least the plant itself is still happy and green? ... Grrrrr, dang squirrel. I hope it gets the hot pepper poops.
