Call & Response

The Call: Tiny Weed, Towering Cliff — Jessica

Sometimes “massive” is only a trick of perspective.

When we moved into this house oh-so-long-ago, my mother sneered at the bittersweet vines growing along the fence and said something like, “Oh, you don’t want those! They’ll take over.” Dang, but she was right. I trimmed them this spring, and it was like the attention inspired them to grow faster and bigger than ever. They are massive.
