Poison Ivy...again

Published Saturday, February 17, 2007 by Chris | E-mail this post

Yes, I have poison ivy again. It was terrible last night and seems to be spreading today. As I made the drive up from Houston I could not stop scratching myself. The drive was made worse by the penetrating bright sun and gusts of wind that nearly knocked me over. Again, I was going on little sleep, as the dog insisted on getting up at 3:30AM to use the restroom.

"Found in the Pasture" was last years theme at the large garden symposium Oktober Gartenfest at University of Texas Winedale. I presented there, and wish I would have had these shots. Soon the structure will be gone but the campernelles (Narcissus x odorus 'campernelli') will remain. The clumps don't grow like the picture shows; that's just the wind keeping it blown over.

Good Saturday night from a very itchy Chris.
