Rural/Farm Life

They were here when we bought this house over ten years ago. But because there are masses of them, they make a spectacular display.

We had a huge wisteria in the back yard, but I hired a guy (sound familiar?) to help me with the yard, and the idiot dug it all out. I've found a few sprouts (I think it's impossible to really kill wisteria) and I'm going to get him to build me an arbor over the back door--he really owes me this. This same guy ripped out my bed of columbine--twice--and then used the power washer on the wall behind them, for a *third* massacre!

But: he's cheap and amiable and (sort of) willing to learn.
