I don’t know if it is too late to save my succulent (see Damn Squirrels). But I have an idea for how to protect the next one, should I choose to leave it outside with the devil squirrels that think it is a dispenser of snacks.

Below is my no-so-engineering-like visual description of my scheme.

12″x9″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block

Somehow, the composition (schematically, of course) reminds me of the painting, The Birth of Venus.
