Eleanor
Roosevelt Urquhart squinted through the sunshine outside the bus window for the
umpteenth time, trying to read the sign of each cross street. She’d ridden the
bus for more than an hour as it crawled from stop to stop along a winding
boulevard lined with palm trees and enormous jade plants. After four years in
the Los Angeles basin, Eleanor still found waist high outdoor jade plants
jarring. Back in Minnesota, Eleanor’s mother kept a jade among her many indoor
plants, but it measured six inches. In Eleanor’s mind, her mother’s specimen
defined “jade plant”; outdoor jade bushes belonged in a bad science fiction
movie (The Houseplant That Swallowed San Dimas).
