Wisteria

I look out at my wisteria... It is a strong and powerful plant. If I am not careful it will consume my home. At first its delicate tendrils seem innocent... even beautiful, but soon they will grab and tighten, rip away the structure if allowed... Destroy the foundation. It needs to be trimmed back, kept at a safe distance from our home, so we can enjoy it's beauty, appreciate its strength and the shade it affords us but not allow it to swallow us... consume us... our home.
