POPO2024 Day 12

I’m going to have
an indoor plant sale.
Since 2011, the atrium
and attached mini-
greenhouse have guar-
anteed that no house-
plant will ever die.
Not only that, each sprout
and leaf has multiplied
into a Michigan jungle
of jade, succulents,
spider plants, ferns -- 
plus grapefruit and avocado 
trees! They thrive in our
care, but fly they must,
fledged from their home.

      It is, Chris, but it takes a lot of maintenance!
