"Holding onto summer. My green family needs me.
The light shifts, even now. You feel it, right? That little chill in the morning air, and suddenly, the tropical glow feels... fragile. It takes so much to keep them happy, healthy. A constant dance with humidity, light—especially up here in Canada. Sometimes, I just stare at them, willing the warmth to stay. Willing them to flourish. It’s a lot, this plant parent thing. But so worth it.
