The Hugging Tree – Ένα Δένδρο όλο Αγκαλιά

While out shopping today I stumbled upon this gorgeous tree that has embraced an old house.   The reason I am sharing this with you is because this is one of the benefits of living “in the boondocks”.  

Είχα πάει για ψώνια  σήμερα και σκόνταψα σε αυτό το πανέμορφο δέντρο που αγκάλιαζε ένα παλιό σπίτι. Ο λόγος που το μοιράζομε μαζί σας είναι επειδή αυτό είναι ένα από τα πλεονεκτήματα της ζωής “στο boondocks”.

I could not help myself… I had to bring some home!

Δεν μπόρεσα να συγκρατηθώ… Έπρεπε να τα φέρω σπίτι.

In hindsight, I realized this was a wisteria vine which had embraced the tree. Goes to show you what I know!  I hope they brighten your day as much as they did mine!

Εκ των υστέρων, κατάλαβα ότι αυτό ήταν γλυκίνη η οποία έχει αγκαλιάσει το δέντρο. Μα τι ξέρω εγώ!  Και ελπίζω αυτό να κάνει καλύτερη την ημέρα σας όπως έκανε την δικιά μου!

    Beautiful! I love the colour of the wisteria and I can imagine it must have an amazing scent as well! I love how you arranged at home and I couldn’t have resisted either in taking some home!

      I was in awe. It was right across the street from our Lidl. And the wisteria was so big it covered half the house. I just had to have a bit of it.

      Unfortunately Marie, it comes and goes too quickly, the wisteria. Easter comes and stays for about 2 weeks and I have the extra weight to show for it. lol. Thanks for your well wishes.

    Good Morning Mary, I love Wisteria…such a lovely scent. And I love the term ‘hugging tree’…is the house inhabited? The tree/vine completely embraced the house. Interesting how our choice of words can completely change our point of view…Hugging Tree or Invasive Vine..A good reminder to frame your world by your outlook and choice of words.
    Hugs my friend…Lynn

      Lynn I think the house must be abandoned. At first glance you can’t tell what is going on. In fact if may confess, I actually thought it was a tree, not realizing that it was a vine at all. So that is why I called it the hugging tree. In was only this year when my knowledge of Spring time things in general has increased that I realized it was in fact a vine. But you are right it is beautiful no matter what we call it or how we look at it.

    I love wisteria – I wouldn’t have it near my house because it tends to take over everything in it’s path – but it is a beautiful looking plant!

      Yes it does take over everything in it’s path. as you can see by the photos. Too bad the flowers don’t last longer.

    Mary, it sure did brighten my day! I think that my favorite painting my mom did was of a wisteria vine. They’re so gorgeous and take me back to a simple time in my childhood. Those photos are lovely and I might just have to hunt for my own vine here in Colorado. 🙂

      Aww Gina, do you still have that painting? That would be such a treasure to have. I also am very partial to these flowers, the color the way they drape.

    We don’t have wisteria as far south in Florida where I live, but in traveling last spring, I was able to see if growing wild in the Florida panhandle and it was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your post at the Over the Moon Link Party.

      Thanks Keri! Would you believe that at the time of the photo I did not even know that was a wisteria vine, I actually thought it was a tree and had grown amok. Of course, I’ve been learning a lot about trees and flowers this past year and now know better.

    Wow! I love wisteria but I’ve never seen one this large. It is incredible. And it does look like it’s hugging this house. I would love to have one of these over our Arbor, the blooms are just so beautiful. And I hear that they smell really lovely. I don’t blame you I would have taken some home too!

      Nikki it really was quite huge, it had spread it’s arms around the tree and the house and it is probably still spreading as we speak.
