Grow, baby, grow!

I've had an aloe vera plant ever since I went off to college...back in 2005.  It became huge and toppled over itself, and last year Kyle decided it was time to give it some assistance.  A little baby aloe plant had sprouted next to the big aloe plant, so Kyle disposed of the bigger one in order to give the little one more space.  We bought a smaller pot, potting soil, and have been watering it as needed.  The little guy has stayed pretty little, and for some reason - today Kyle became overwhelmed with the desire to save this little guy.  He pruned it and did some research on how to revive it (i.e. give it a happy place to live).  Then we enthusiastically asked if I would accompany him to Menards.  And so we ventured across the way and bought the "right" kind of soil, some fertilizer, and a new (smaller, cuter) pot.  I hope our baby aloe plant finds its new home delightful, and that it grows.

New and old.

I'm really proud of my color blocking.
