Growing art

Something pretty is growing in our yard. The cone grew grass last year, too. Keith could move it and mow, but it's prettier as it is.

This year, the gate that no longer opens or closes has a Virginia Creeper growing up and through it.

When life is still, I enjoy seeing what will happen, sometimes. Our contributions are giving it water and letting it grow—that and stalling about the gate repair. It won't be this way forever, but it was pretty at the beginning of August, 2026.
