Storm or not, Rose does not lose focus. She waded through four feet of snow to check on the Imaginary Squirrel she has been stalking daily for eight years, since she first saw it up that tree. It’s never been back, to my knowledge (smart squirrel), but no mind. Rose never skips it, never forgets. Rose gets it done.
