This week's Vignette comes via Andrew (my husband) who snapped this photo while siting in traffic.

Gordon's Fireplace Shop was a Portland mainstay for years. Last April we learned it was closing and its huge building that sits at the corners of NE 33rd Ave, NE Broadway and looms over Interstate-84 had an uncertain future. It's a huge building (did I mention how big it is?) and the multi-paned windows inspire all sorts of interior design fantasies (at least in me). But, to Andrew's photo...
Notice anything? Anything green?...the shrub or tree (probably a Buddleia) growing on the corner is great...however the eye really wants to focus on the Verbascum to its right...

It's just so perfect! Weeds they are. We welcome them into our gardens as ornamentals but they really are destined to take over the west. They just need us pesky humans to go away first...
