Quick Update
Heh - I got to do some yard work today. The growing trees were taking over the porch and the side yard, and I got to find out the creeping vine going up the hand rail was indeed poison ivy! I was all for leaving it where it was to discourage unwanted visitors, but Dad said no. :(
At least I'm still not allergic, though I did take the extra precautions of wearing gloves when I pulled it out and hopped in the shower right after, as they suggest. However, I'm unfortunately allergic to stinging nettles, though *rubs on more jewel weed*. I lit some incense to prayed for the spirits of the poor fallen trees, though. *feels bad*
*Shrugs* That's all for the moment, I suppose - just felt like bragging about the poison ivy. XD
