I got it hugging my favorite tree in my garden. I think it is poison oak. It is the most painful ugly mess you have ever seen.<br />It was funny to hear that you think you have it also. I fear my little puppy Coco might also have it on her paws because she loves to go into the forest next to my garden. I live in Pennsylvania and I have never had this e experience before this winter!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336082148964991591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582451086146217677.post-92103906280175959492015-01-20T16:48:23.925-08:002015-01-20T16:48:23.925-08:00all looks so beautiful!

I'm afraid poison ivy lies dormant, but can irritate even in dry state. My poor husband used to get it so bad even from the dry wood we brought in for the fireplace. The doctors have a vaccine against it, but there are certain people who cannot take that. It wors for my friend who likes to work in the woods. Your blog makes me so happy. I think we might have a very good time in the garden or sitting in your lovely dining room. I miss a lot but I'm having a good time puttering.

Your garden looks pretty in winter as it does in summer, just different. <br />My friends wonder what I do all day since I haven't been working for a while too. There is never a moment when I am bored, always something to clean or redecorate or create. There is never enough time or money for everything I want to do. Always a pleasure to see what you have done with your little piece of heaven.<br />Sherry<br />SHERRYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287372955609491433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582451086146217677.post-16980164200509947702015-01-20T10:12:41.659-08:002015-01-20T10:12:41.659-08:00Hi Cielo, I know it's been a while since I com...Hi Cielo, I know it's been a while since I commented but I still look at each new post, admiring the lovely pictures and always touched by the way your able to express your feelings often so much like mine. I also think my family wonders what I do with myself all day alone out here on our fifty acres secluded from the world. I always have something I want to do each day and even though it is only my husband and I (our children have long been gone) there always seems to be work, wash, and cooking. I have been trying this cold month of January to spend some time organizing and a little decorating. Yes, it will be a few months up here in the north before we can think about gardening outside again. Although we have a lot of house plants and my husband has quite a collection of orchids that he spends time on. Have a great day!Sue@sprucelakecottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791982808186180584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582451086146217677.post-35820188914076948422015-01-19T19:54:20.507-08:002015-01-19T19:54:20.507-08:00You are ahead of me!

Expecially if you break a vine. The oil from the vine gets on your skin. Someti.es it helps to wash skin as soon as possible with an abrasive cleaner as simple as ajax. Also wash in cold water. Hot water will open your pores. HA ha...as you can tell ..I have experienced the wicked ivy many many times.Good luck with your spring planning. It helps to get as much done before the excessive heat of our southern summers.Jenny S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03215140632305122541noreply@blogger.com
