Margaret built a circular garden in her backyard that has a diameter of 10 feet. In the center of the garden is a circular bird bath that has a diameter of 3 feet. If a squirrel on a tree limb directly over the garden drops an acorn at random and it lands in the garden, what is the probability it does not hit the bird bath?
