i met a man the other day while trying to catch a little dog that was scurrying around the neighborhood, he was really kind, and gentle with animals, and offered to let me use his back yard to catch the little dog

and today he was working in front of his house and saw me and he called my name and said "here!" and gave me one of his white rose clippings! it's like 5 or 6 flowers on one branching stem!
