The train brought some green plants for my parents to grow. It also brought this stick in a pot. It has a label on it that says “rose.” I wonder what will happen if I plant it.

I keep forgetting to water my rose. I wonder if this stick is really going to be a rose. Mom made me a rose necklace so I would remember what a rose looks like.

Grandma wrote me a letter about tussie mussies.
To surprise Mom with a tussie mussie, I gathered some sweet smelling flowers. Our neighbor gave me a rose
to put in a tussie mussie.
