A passage from it reminded me of an RS song...... "Wisteria tendrils undulated from the screen porch, delicate as seaweed. It hung so thick over the back of the house that you could hardly see the porch anymore; it was pretty enough when the flowers were in bloom but the rest of the time it was a shaggy mess and besides, the weight of it was liable to pull the porch down-- wisteria was a parasite, it weaken the structure of a house if you let it crawl all over the place-- but some people had to learn everything the hard way."
