Rose Bud

Judith had been working all summer to keep her plants from dying this year, the drought had come through and had killed everything that grew, the garden had been the hardest thing to keep alive but it was savable. However when it came to her flowers they lost luster of color, and wilted as soon as they bloomed, or was as soon as they were buds the colors would would start to dry on them and then just fall and die. However when she bent down to one bud she looked at it saw that it was starting to loose its color but the luster of it was beautiful, "Little rose I'm going to fight to keep you." She got the fertilizer from the shed and filled up a five pound bucket full of water and mixed the fertilizer in the water and slowly poured the roots over with the water. "If that doesn't work for at least two day, I'll do it again," The determination of Judith to keep this one alive was her goal for the summer, and she would do all she knew to keep it alive. The next day the flower bud had gotten bigger, and she saw that that place where the patches of white where the colors had fallen off but she knew the rose was going to survive. She would keep the process of watering and fertilizer every other day if she needed right now she was content to see that her tactics for the moment were working she was a happy woman for the moment. Two weeks later the rose bud had flourished and began withering on it's own because at best in a drought this was the best she could ask for as soon as the peddles began falling she saved the peddles with the white patches and put them in her Bible.
