My how they grow.

Honeysuckle

Ten years ago we stuck a little dried out, weedy clump of honeysuckle in a tiny square of ground between the back door and the gatepost.

Now it's all the way up the side of the door and out in an arch over the gate.

Weather today was thick and heavy and the scent from the honeysuckle built up as if it were trapped by the still air. Little bugs swarmed over the flower heads sipping at nectar and bumble bees bounced off the blossoms like fat drunks.

Time flies when you're just standing in this little square of gravelly dirt, eh.
