When I was a kid, I didn't realize what it was so I got it on both arms, my eyes, and other places I don't care to mention. Not a good memory.<br />My mother-in-law had a beautiful lilac bush in her yard. After she passed away and we had to sell her house, but we tried to dig up some sprouts.

Your adventure in Poison Ivy Land sounds painful and it reminded me of my encounter with hornets last year. Wearing the proper gear is important. Thanks for checking in on my blog. I will be posting more often now that I have my life in place again. It's voting day here in Ontario, so now I'm off to do that and honour all the people who fought and are still fighting in many wars and conflicts to make sure I have that right. Hope all is well with you and yours. <3 MarMarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138254277082008962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-53368948475493828002011-05-02T07:22:51.257-05:002011-05-02T07:22:51.257-05:00Just looking at your photo of your arm makes me wa...Just looking at your photo of your arm makes me want to scratch.

I am like you, in that I just jump in and tackle a project when the mood strikes... not giving much thought to what it entails.

We had to chop ours down last year...they weren't a good variety and didn't produce pretty flowers. Now we have ugly stumps to take care of. So sorry you are suffering with that poison ivey. When my brother was a 6th grade teacher, one of his forms of discipline was having kids write an essay that would be titled, "What happens that I don't like when_____". I thought about that when I read your post and was laughing at the memory. Hope it goes away soon.

The tulips still have not bloomed either but the crocus and daffodils have come and gone. I can't wait to see all the photos of what you do to your garden again this year.
