FMM - Plants and PacoEasy Weight Loss

While we haven't done anything regarding our plants outdoors yet, I did get a bit of spring fever and repotted several of my indoor succulents this week - I want to see if they'll grow bigger if I move some from tiny pots to larger pots, which is how I ended up with five tiny plants in one pot:

I swear these haven't changed size in a year so it will be interesting to see if this works.

This crazy plant has actually grown a bit, but I saw a picture of one similar to it on Instagram and it was really full and lush, so I'm hoping it will do that with more room to grow.

Here's a real experiment - I got this baby to grow from a discarded leaf, so I replanted it into a bigger pot to encourage it to grow like its big siblings:

 

It's really tiny right now - but not bad considering it came from thin air, basically.

Here are the siblings, and I guess one might say, the donor plant that created the baby:

They turn pink with winter sun but will end up mostly green with a pink edge on the leaves, once we hit the summer months.  I like how succulents change like that.

It's not super tall but the baby has a long way to go to catch up to this one.

Here's my disappointment - the string of pearls:

After nearly two years with this plant, I expected more.  I want lots and lots of strings, not four!  If I ever see a lush string of pearls plant for sale locally, I'm going to buy it because I'll be 90 before this one gets to the look that I want.

I moved things around on this rack as well.  Seeing this picture makes me realize I have a lot of empty pots that need filling!

Paco got his stitches out on Tuesday but wasn't feeling our traditional vet selfie:

Stop bodering me, mom.

In the never-ending saga of that poor dog, he's got another skin infection, which the vet thinks might be a stress manifestation from the foot surgery/anesthesia - he certainly wasn't licking or chewing on his skin because he was coned for two weeks.  He also developed a pressure sore on his tailbone, geez!  So now he's on a strong antibiotic, we have spray for his hot spots, and we bought him plusher dog beds - one for his crate at night and one for my office:

I'd say he's comfortable, wouldn't you?

I hope this is it for him now - Paco deserves to have an uneventful, normal life after everything he's gone through over the last few years!

Tomorrow we are just running in our regular area, not racing, so I think we're going to try and get 4 or 5 miles in, with the idea of becoming stronger for the shorter 5K distance.  I have a couple more chances with 5K races this spring to hit my goals so hopefully this will help!

Have a great weekend!
