Science Experiment or Poor Housekeeping?

I sat down to stitch late this afternoon and noticed this behind my stitching chair. I swear it wasn't there yesterday!

I should probably be embarrassed but I think it's kind of funny. This plant is growing out of the carpet on an outside wall in my den. The den used to be a screened porch that was turned into a more usable space at some point. There's brick tile under the carpet. I went outside to see if there was anything visibly growing from the outside. Unfortunately, there isn't. So I guess that means that my housekeeping skills are in question.

What shall I do with my new plant? Let it grow or rip it out? Just for the heck of it, I think I'll let it grow.

Maybe this is a sign I should vacuum behind my stitching chair.

Last night as I was working on the ironwork on the Haunted House's roof, my Little Girl was anxious to get in my lap.  This is her look that says "you're not seriously going to make me sit over here by myself, are you?"

                                               

Typically, she got what she wanted. Little Girl is an inside/outside kitty. Yesterday she tried to gift me  with a rather large field mouse that she caught. I suppose she thought that we would have fun chasing the mouse through the house. Fortunately, I was able to close the door in her face before she could deliver the gift. I think she must have just stunned the mouse because it scooted away when she put it down. She keeps checking out the plants by the back door where she put it down. I guess she thinks it's still in there.  Another time I'll tell you about how she adopted me a few years ago.

If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, send help, I may have been swallowed up by the mystery vine!
