I have two Rose bushes sitting under the light on my desk. Outside the weather is frigid, but under the light? The miniature rose, called Cupcake, has new leaves and the larger mystery rose bush is showing a few new leaf buds. Rescued from the trash can at a local nursery, they continue to revive and grow.

How about you? How have you grown this week? What’s on your mind?
