Rain Washing
I set all my houseplants out on the “patio” in the rain for a good washing. They are dusty and due for a spring cleaning.
And then there’s my Big Mama Aloe. I didn’t know that an aloe could get so large. I don’t even remember where I got her as a baby, just that she was an unremarkable size, and she’s grown to resemble a pineapple plant.
Cheeks the stork
Cheeks is doing much better than when this photo was taken a few days ago, and that aloe in the background is doing much worse. She’s done quite a bit of standing on both feet today, which is an improvement. She really likes to roost on the edge of the box when she’s done eating. She spends a lot of the day there, watching us come and go. She doesn’t miss anything, and I can tell when she wants to go in her banana box for a nap.
I feel like some aloe today
Says Cheeks. She took a whole arm off of this plant (right), and a couple of beak shaped bites out of another arm. Then she took the tip off another plant. She really ate quite a lot of it, despite the bits she left behind. Apparently, today she just wanted some aloe. It’s good for her. No one else is eating it (I’ve tried, I find it bitter). This is the box she stands on, to eat, and just to hang out for a lot of the day.
Instagram.
I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
Bite size.
