Bittersweet

With so little color in our area at this time of year and the day being overcast and drizzly, this vine stood out today. Bittersweet - A poisonous woody vine. I love these vines and berries for decorating in the fall. Planted one once and it took me years of pulling it out to get rid of it. It's extremely invasive and was taking over my landscape. Apparently, the birds rescued this one and transplanted it in a better location along our driveway in with the hardwoods and soft woods. Much of life is "bittersweet" and learning to take the good and find good in the not-so-good sure makes it a bit easier. Always striving for that balance and understanding. Day off tomorrow and sun on the way I hope.
