Tayler is sitting by her Great Grandma Jen's vine. This vine is originally from Star Valley, Wyoming. Doug's mom, Ann, brought a start with her to Salmon, Idaho nearly 60 years ago when she and Delos made their home in Salmon. The start took off and to this day has to be cut back every year due to its widespread and fast paced growth. Doug and I took a start from it 3 years ago and as you can see, it has taken off. But, not without a rough start. I had originally planted it in a different place. Apparently, Cayden didn't like where I planted it so he pulled it out of the ground and left it for dead. I found it a couple days later and I almost threw it away thinking that it didn't stand a chance. Something inside me told me to plant it anyway. So, I did! As you can see, the vine lived! We love the heritage our beautiful vine comes from.
I'll take pictures in the Fall when the colors turn. It is so gorgeous!
