Wednesday Walk: This one is for the scorched and still standing.

So yeah. The sun pulled a stunt! It came in loud with no warning... like it forgot that we were growing things out here.'

My rose tree? It got roasted. Again!

The petals are curled like secrets, and the edges are crisp like pie crust left too long.

Me? I didn't flinch. I grabbed the shears and snipped the sadness. Then I gave the roots a drink deep enough to reach memory. I put mulch down like a hug and tossed it like a shawl. Then I whispered... "You're still my bloom, you're still my story."

I think it heard me! Because a few days later- new buds... brave like little fists punching through grief.

This garden? It's not just flowers. It's comeback energy. It's love with dirt under its nails.

And me? I'm not just tending. I'm testifying. Because anything that's ever been loved can rise again.

Even roses. Even me. Even you.
