Purple trellis

"So, is this a tribute to those women's basketball champions, the Sacramento Monarchs?" I asked Carolyn. "Or are you just hungry for blueberry yoghurt? Maybe, you've been reading Alice Walker's "The Color Purple"?"

She just smiled at me and continued on with her painting job. I had helped her earlier to try to piece back together the trellis that had suffered the past couple of winters. One of the legs had a spot of dry rot so all the pieces going into or coming out of that leg were loose. But I had no idea that small repaiar job would lead to this.

What do you think? It certainly adds a bit of color to our back yard. Just not in the way I would normally expect.
