I bought a tiny sedum Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' (Creeping Stonecrop) and now the challenge will be to grow it. I think it's harder than Lithops, unless you live in California, where it grows on rocks and sandy cliffs.
Cape Blanco. It is very tiny.

Cape Blanco and Dudleya (the rosettes) on a seaside cliff in California., where it rains all winter and not in summer.
No one in my succulent group knows how to grow it, well, one person bought one 2 months ago and bottom waters it.
Wish me luck!
Other random stuff. We asked the apartment manager if we could move to a different apartment if one becomes available. We asked for the first building, facing the fields. There would be no garage blocking the view and no parking on the west side under the window, so no privacy issue, and a normal bathtub. It's a lot to hope for, since who knows when someone might move. I just don't see this apartment as my "forever" home. The place at Oriole Ponds was going to be my forever home but you see how fast that fell apart. Are there other apartments with a view? Not within a reasonable price range, at least in the foreseeable future.
The one on the far left.
I still miss Hartford, Delafield, West Bend, Oconomowoc.
I'm making myself go through boxes. Too many saved papers that I don't need anymore.
We are still waiting for parts for our truck so we can get the work done. Hubby has to disconnect and reconnect the negative battery terminal every time he drives, otherwise the lights don't turn off.
We bought the most delicious strawberries at Woodman's, and they were from Canada. Imported before the tariffs?

That was a great idea to let the apartment manager know you would be interested in a different apartment. It would mean moving again, but hopefully relatively easily. You have the touch with succulents - I imagine that will grow well for you. :-)
