So my youngest daughter gave me a miniature rose for Christmas. She bought it early. It lived under her bed through several hot days. By Christmas morning it was all but a pot of dead twigs.
It's been my holiday project, to revive it with hard pruning, compost and worm juice.
And here it is, a week later, ablaze with life.
Grace and growth to all of us in 2018. Let's not underestimate the will to survive.

I can post all kinds of quotes and nice thoughts. None of them touch this. You brought something thought lost back to life!
That's a holiday miracle.
@katebowles Roses are fighters. Give them bonemeal and maybe blood, possibly a squirrel, and they will fight to return.
@katebowles So lovely! happy you brought it back to life. Nice thing to think about while we are here in the midst of winter, remembering things will come back.

@gdkar That, my goodness, that is a song that makes you wonder how we made it through the seventies. 🌹
