A Sweet Thing to Do

Here follows a sweet thing to do if you are feeling especially whimsical sometime in the summer. Find a climbing plant preferably perennial like ivy. Do you think ivy is sad when it has reached the top of its fence or trellis or whatever and is just flailing around with its tendrils, dreaming of climbing higher?

The nice thing to do is to find some tendrils that are especially long and drag them over to an overhanging tree or gutter and twine them on. It's fun to see how easily ivy or sweet peas stick to new surfaces, even really smooth ones. And you are doing something that could be construed as a good deed in some anthropomorphicizing schema. And you are probably annoying whoever owns the tree in question. Double good deed. Nature against mankind.
