In The Garden

This my clematis in our garden that I have been trying to grow for the last four years now.  I have babied it along and tried everything to help it grow, but it just did not seem to get any bigger than a couple of small sprouts each season.  However, last Fall I decided to cut it way back.  And this year look how great it has become in the few short weeks of this year's growing season. I love this vine and hope it will one day cover this arbor.  Vines always reminds me of this passage in the Bible;

 I am the vine; you are the branches.  If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  If anyone dose not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.  If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.  This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.  John 15:5-8

I love clematis. It reminds me of my dad who grew it all over the place.
