Clara's Corner: My Clematis....

My Clematis....

This is growing on my fence in the back yard. I thought it wasn't going to live because a tree fell across it during a bad wind storm. I saw one growing in a lady's yard and I stopped and ask her the name and she dug a piece for me. She told me the name, but now I have forgotten. Do any of you know?

Teresa said...: It's very pretty, Clara. I wish I knew more about flowers but I have no idea what type it is. Does it smell as nice as it looks?

Sorry, I don't know what it is, but it surely is pretty, and it almost has to smell good, too. While we were gone, our friends, Mark and Allie took care of our flowers for us. We finally got rain that was falling as we made our way back into TN.
Thanks for all your comments on my blog!; 7:44 PM
Patsy said...: Don't you love the little bet of cooler weather and more rain we are having ? It makes the flowers jump back out. My roses are looking better now. Did you get picture when your grandson was visiting?

Jamie Dawn said...: It sure is pretty. I'm glad it survived the tree incident.
I guess it thrived in spite of adversity.

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
