Straggler

About 2 weeks ago (before the inch of snow) i walked to the mailbox in the sleet and found 2 lingering clematis (ran back and got my camera). I don't know why the last hurrah, since they have not bloomed in about a month or two, but for some reason, and with only some green leaves remaining on the plant, two final flowers boomed amid falling leaves and sleet. Such a hopeful and happy sight for some reason.
