    Hubby & son finished the arbor/trellis for my clematis out front today. Dh just bought everything and had everything "in his head"--no instructions as always. I love it because you can still go over my little bridge without hitting your head. Next year I'll cut back the clematis and send it right up the arbor instead of up the pole it's on now.
