Ivied courtyards
But to my surprise, she declined to go even though she'd clamored all summer for some excitement. And my siren songs of romantic, ivied courtyards fell on deaf ears. "I just can't afford the trip," she shrugged in her refusal.
Hi, would anyone explain "ivied courtyards" mean?
Is "ivy" a plant, and it is used as a verb meaning "crawl, or spread"? I looked it up on several dictionaries, but I don't find "ivy" can be used as a verb.
Does "ivied courtyards" mean he suggested her again and again, like an ivy made all it way everywhere in courtyards?
Thanks!
