Sammy Update: Mystery Solved!

So apparently Sammy does not read my blog. I had really started to worry because after he dug up the plants he was no where to be found. (Not that I really thought he was into reading blogs online--I don't think he even knows what the internet is.) Anyways, he was out mowing the lawn when I went home for lunch today. I asked him where he'd been all my life. (I used to see him like 3 times a day and I hadn't seen him for a couple weeks.) Turns out Sammy and his partner are moving! They just rent from the guy that owns the townhouse. He said that he's run into "money troubles" and were going to be out by the end of the month. (Bought too many plants, perhaps?) He'd dug up all the plants and transported them over to his brother's house because the owner of the place said he wanted it to look like it did when they first moved in. 

So that solved the mystery of the missing plants. Despite his gardening techniques I am really going to miss Sammy. He was a good neighbor and my blog is going to suffer without the weekly "Sammy Update." And I guess now we'll have to start mowing our own lawn. :(
