This lovely creature right here was a gift from a friend who used to be my neighbor and who’s a bona fide nomad extraordinaire.

In honor of her previous owner, I have named it Cece. And yes, every time I feed her and admire her lovely leaves, I think and miss my cray cray friend Cece from Boston.

Cece, if you’re reading this please know that I am so grateful to you for giving me this lovely plant, that I miss your face, and that I hope you are well and healthy.
