English ivy
forces its way under the siding
succulents in pots
are its first victims

I haven't killed them yet. In fact, they are still visibly growing, as you can see if you look back at my previous two photos of them. Years ago, she gave me a different kind of succulent in a large pot. I put it on top of my file cabinet. When it finally died it was nearly 8 feet tall and we could no longer bring it in or out of the house through the door. I think its deathknell occurred the year I was too sick to keep a close eye on it.

My Valentine's Day present from my lovely spouse, a pot full of succulents, is growing and healthy in my office.
