Well, gee, I miscalculated my outside time yesterday.
And I am a fanatic about time,waking time, Bible time,
walking time,baking time, cleaning time all of it so…
Anyway, it was a beautiful day. I bigged up
and pulled some poison ivy out of our small
garden area that houses our hydrangea bushes. I used
a plastic grocery sack like a glove and pulled up three
small bunches. In the past I have had insane reactions to
poison ivy.Even cutting a walk/hike short if I spot it on the trail.
The thing about poison ivy is its actually pretty, especially in the fall.
It too turns red and orange. Since I am so allergic I pay close attention for it.
For years I mistook virginia creeper for poison ivy because
a neighbor said it was poisonous. When the across the street neighbor,
a horticulturist, moved in he said “that”- That’s not poisonous, that’s
virginia creeper. It did put my mind at ease and helped me to pull it out
of the many bushes it had wrapped itself around. I have avoided many
a garden beds because I find poison ivy.
Pretty much it is now contained to our way back woods
and is not where I garden, run or walk.
Every time I see it I am reminded of the verse in the Bible,
in Matthew where it says –let the wheat and the tare
grow up together-side by side.
-outside hours today 3hrs and 56 min-
if my calculations are correct!
