This is starting to get old! We’ve lived here for forty years and never had this many days of unseasonably warm weather. Typically it’s three in a row and then the marine layer returns. Any way keeping me company today the usual lamb and always handsome Modoc Special. Have a great week folks! 😀

I’m with you on this endless summer. The heat is ridiculous in CA this year. My AC has been running since May
 
I missed posting yesterday when my wife decided we should try to trim off all of the wisteria and other vines overgrowing the back of the house. But, as usual, I'll start my weekly posting with the Canoes of the Week my rotation schedule assigned me for October 6-12. Both are Rough Riders, a yellow synthetic carbon steel canoe and a smooth green bone stainless Stroke of Luck canoe.

When we lived in the Ozarks, Vik used to keep a sharp eye out for wild bittersweet along the backroads. The berries borne on the female plants are very attractive orange and red. And along with the curly vines are nice for holiday wreath making and various other seasonal decorating. So some years later, up here in Illinois, I happened to find some 1/2 gal. pots of bittersweet on closeout at a landscaping joint marked down at the end of the season.
I thought it would be cool to plant them against the south side of the house, and let them climb. It was cool. They took off and began to cover the wall. Looked great.
Until it came time to paint. I realized it was not good for the wood siding. I had to cut it all down and move them to where they could climb an arbor I’d made out by my first garden. They eventually overtook the arbor, which gave out and collapsed. Years later, I witnessed how they wrap around and strangle young trees.
Anyway, bad choice for planting next to the house.
I notice a bumper crop of decorating berries this fall.
