Thanks. I can't recall seeing new buds on these roses this late. Good to know that 50s is warm enough for that to happen. Though I suspect that process will stop tonight. They're even saying we might get a dusting of snow.

New in the sense that I haven't published a novel yet, though I have a couple of them ready for that. In the past few years, I've had a few stories published. I mainly write fantasy and spec fiction. What about you?
