Forgetting and remembering

I came down this morning, and the food bin was tipped over, and the contents all over the patio. It's the badger.

This happened last year as well, and I remember now, thinking, ~it~oh, I should probably not leave the food bin out over winter~~it~, and even thinking about the squirrels this year and how they go through the plant pots and dig everything up. Yet, I completely forgot to actually make sure to bring the food bin in. I forget, over the summer, the reason why it's good to do.
