The last few years I have gotten succulents for the summer decor and because I am really bad at keeping plants alive they sadly never make it to the end of the summer.  Since I was going to be out of town for most of the month of June I decided not to get any this year, since their chances of survival are so slim even when I am home all the time….   It really is sad how much I love plants but I can’t manage to keep them alive.  Maybe someday I will get there.  I did get one new plant though, to replace the one that had just died (I had managed to keep that one alive for a couple of years) and it is still going strong.  Sadly it is all fake other wise.  At least Joanna has some as close to realistic as I have seen.  I will have to be content with that for now.
