Late summer, every year a familiar scent permeates the humid air. The smell of the wild clematis...an invasive weed or a flowering vine? Like art, its beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
A weed I can tolerate in our yard...it grows along the edge of driveway, spreading vigorously in a cloud of fragrant white blooms. Also known as Sweet Autumn Clematis, it signals the approach of fall. While invasive, it is easily controlled by cutting it back to the ground after flowering...remaining dormant until the following summer.
Mischief and I brought some of Mother Nature's graffiti inside this evening, savoring its perfume
Atop a table on the stair landing
Its beauty in its wildness, its tendrils allowed to fall where they may
Tucked into a vase once belonging to my Great Aunt...who passed away only a week ago
"Life is a magic vase filled to the brim"

Her vase, a reminder to live life...filling my vase to the brim

Love this Jennifer..... so beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear about your Great Aunt.
It's a beautiful remembrance.
Thanks y'all, wish I knew more about her vase...a reminder to visit more with my elders
How lovely! I think Mischief is a natural with flowers. Beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder, and I think this "nature's graffiti" is quite pretty. A reminder to look for the beautiful in unexpected places! XO
Lovely tribute. Another life lesson instilled in Mischief.
Seriously. Could you open a shop. I'd buy weeds from you. YOu make everything look magical.

Mine are fat with buds, but not blooming yet. Maybe another week. I will copy you and bring some inside. Thanks for the inspirations.
