And not a good one either. Here is a photo of our backyard before the surprise.
Such a nice Agave plant. Such a nice visiting deer. But what we saw upon our arrival was this.
Gone! The Agave mysteriously disappeared. Using our fantastic sleuthing skills we determined it had been stolen, along with a few other plants. But then we read the internet. Seems this plant only has a lifespan of 20 years and after it's bloom it dies. The gardener finally told us that he removed it due to its death. And here we were all paranoid about plant thieves. We haven't been able to find the deer either.
