Running wild

Do you see the chair?

Every summer, an enthusiastic purple hyacinth bean vine reseeds near our back deck.  The deck becomes a trellis for this vine which is much loved by hummingbirds and butterflies.  Since we enjoy watching the wildlife along with the flowers and bean pods, I let this vine have (almost) complete reign of the deck by the end of the summer.  Usually it follows the deck railings, but this year, it grew straight over the railing, burying the bench and completely draping the patio chair.  We will take possession of our deck again as soon as we have our first frost. . . but I'm not in any hurry.
