Missing in action

Away from the garden for nearly a week, I worry about "my babies." Will their water dishes be filled? Will there be enough seeds that the rats won't get first? Will the finches think I have failed them if their thistle sock runs empty? Will the turkeys land and rampage through everything? Will the zinnias wilt past redemption, the spider get squished or have her web destroyed by an errant passing person as he rushes to water without taking notice? Will I see her again? Will the woodpeckers win the war and bang another hole in my wall up near the bathroom window? Will they remember me? Will the "I" in my garden really matter at all?
