The Succulent Thief
AKA, my mother-in-law when she comes to California
Spring has sprung in Santa Cruz. Every plant is in bloom and seems like it’ll stay that way forever. There are baby sea lions at the wharf. Drunk college students are roasting their buns on the beach. I’m inside during peak burning hours, thinking about what kind of fresh salad ingredients I should buy to avoid doom scrolling at all costs.
When things are Bad, it feels hard to appreciate the beauty on my own doorstep. Lucky for me, I had someone who loves flowers more than anything take me outside this weekend…
Also a succulent thief ☺️ and my favorite part of visiting California
This resonates so much, because I too am a succulent thief. I love it. It's a little hunt and then a little project at home. I always look at them and remember the trips I took.
