Little thief, big thief

Little thief...
I was finishing up the colourwork hat this morning when Miss Peno suddenly ran to the back door, tail twitching away. I look over and caught the sight of a black, bushy tail.

 That bucket with the blue lid is where I keep the bird seed.

It's squirrel proof, but it took a little while for this little guy to figure that out. He eventually gave up, but when I went to fill the bird feeder, I put some seed along the ledge for him (and Peno.)

Not the greatest picture - it's pouring rain, and opening the door would just scare him off. But I think I'm going to have to keep some seed there all winter - Peno loves the entertainment.

Big thief...
I looked out my front door this morning and noticed something missing from my garden. The pretty little Mum that housed the spider was gone.

Now that Mum sat in a pot, not two feet away from the garden for almost three weeks. No one touched it. I plant it in the garden and someone steals it? Really?

Update: I found the Mum... tossed a little ways down the street. Thank you, Garden Vandals.
