Alfie.

I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our household, Alfie.

He is probably the most prolific aloe plant I've ever met in my life, and he came to live with us by way of our generous neighbor, Anita.

Alfie quickly outgrew his original digs, so I decided to spread the Alfie love around.

Which didn't come without its own challenges--some potting soil managed to escape the craft paper barrier I laid down...

And now there are five Alfies (Alfi?)...ready for new, loving homes. All of this pales in comparison to these little babies:

Which came from my the garden my beau planted just around the corner (at our local community garden). I'm pretty impressed with him.
