"Our tropical pals fight winter's dry air.

Sometimes... I just sit here, watching them. The dry air from the furnace, man, it just sucks the life out. I worry. Spritzing, pebble trays—it feels like a desperate whisper against the harsh Canadian reality. But then, a new leaf unfurls, bright green... a little victory. These guys, they remind me of summer, of being alive. It’s a lot, you know? Keeping that feeling going.
