Reblogged from A Detailed House:
Having a stone house, Virginia creeper love throwing their tendrils up the side of my house. My mother said it's not good for the house and will weaken the mortar and thus the stonework, but the mourning doves love nesting on the window sills with the leaves as cover, so I let the vines run up to a certain point. Plus, they turn a spectacular red in the fall.
