Cartoon Succulents

Hi succ-ers!  I've been busy as heck, but am going to be posting more in the near future, I suspect.  Meanwhile, I wanted to share a cartoon succulent my friend Kurt made --->  (Kurt is one of those rare people who can pick up anything--a gift bag, a shoe, a picture of a succulent--and make it sparkly and gorgeous in a matter of minutes.  You should see his holiday cards!)  It also reminded me that I made a cartoon air plant using a phone app and can't remember whether I ever posted it.  I don't think so!  So here it is:

In other news, it has been incredibly warm this winter.  I kept many succulents outside throughout January and February, which has had disastrous consequences in the past and almost no consequences at all this year (knock on wood).  

Every year at some point in late Feb. or early March, my mom and I have basically the same conversation.
One of us: Hey, do you think I can put my plants back outside yet?
The other of us: I was going to ask you the same thing last week!
The first one: I bet we're probably okay...
The other: I might wait a little longer.
The first: Yeah, it's good to be on the safe side.  Let's wait a few weeks.
The other: Agreed.
[Two days pass]
One of us: I couldn't wait!  I just put my plants back out!!
The other one of us: OMG.  Me too!!

Ha.  Hope you're having a lovely early spring, my succulent friends.
