Washing the Berries

"One does not begin to make a garden until he wants a garden. To want a garden is to be interested in plants, in the winds and rains, in birds and insects, in the warm-smelling earth."

 

Liberty Hyde Bailey

 

There are many pleasures of having a Virginia Creeper plant. The birds use it as their nesting place and eat the blue colored fruit. They often perch outside my window on its sturdy stems.

 

I especially love to study the plant in all the seasons, whether covered with ice, snow or a brief rain shower.
