once upon a time, my leggy blonde friend and i bought a clematis for my balcony.
over the years, the clematis has struggled with relentless sunshine in the summer, high winds all year long, cats, spiders and pesky pigeons... and a careless mother who left her alone every winter.
but this is what i misssed every time i was away: in spite of it's puny frame, and almost complete lack of folliage, clematis has, this month of all months, been happy enough to sprout gentle bell shaped little flowers shivering in the wind, with a smile.
