Remember those bites I whined about earlier in the week? Well, they’re getting worse, and multiplying! After doing some research, I’ve decided that this plant is the culprit:


I’m pretty sure it’s poison ivy, which got all over my arms and legs when I was clearing the fence line last week, and then again when I bound up the stuff I cut for the trash this week.

Here’s just one arm—it’s on both arms and legs now:


I am an itchy, oozing blob! As soon as this clears up a bit, I’m going to buy an industrial sized drum of Roundup, and kill everything along the fence. I think I also have to go have a talk with my neighbors, because it’s on their side, and will just reinfest my side if they don’t do something about it. I’m not looking forward to this, because these are my bad neighbors, who do nothing with their yard other than pay the lawn service to chop it down once a month.
