Let the trumpets sound!

Dear Diary,

Every year I wonder about my trumpet vine.  It seems so slow in starting but every year it never fails to delight me.  This year it seems to have more blooms than usual, much to the delight of my ruby throated hummingbird.  I planted the vine years ago because we had one at the house I grew up in and I loved watching the hummers each summer.

Matt will be here on Wednesday to do a bit of judicious pruning of the vine, encouraging it to spread across the top of the pergola.  Today Greg is supposed to start on replacing the porch posts.  Four of them need replacing.  Because of that, and the new computer I had to buy, I look longingly at the space where my labyrinth was supposed to be.  Maybe next year...
