Thank you angel friends, for your comforting kind words, warm well wishes, and prayers for me to fully heal :) i appreciate everything :) i'm continuing to tackle the poison ivy issue, and really determined to heal fully :) i went into full care mode yesterday, with taking good care :) my arm is looking a bit better, i'm getting some good color back in my arm :) my arm has been very red, and warm, from when i used the itch-x gel. i used some oatmeal yesterday on my arm, and side, plus calamine lotion :) it's helping, but definitely is a process. my poison ivy thankfully hasn't spread to my face, or neck, but am being very cautious, putting the calamine lotion on at least 3 times per day, my arm is in better shape than my hip/side. i took an allegra allergy tablet this morning, it's non-drowsey ,and a good antihistamine. my right arm has been a bit swollen, but is showing some signs of improvement. i'm very determined to continue to heal :)We haven't taken care of the poison ivy/oak, but definitely will. everyone is being very care, helpful, Holly, my mom, dad, and everyone :) i appreciate all of the love, comforting care, and healing prayers :) it's been really wild, having poison ivy, i've worked in our garden for years, and never once caught poison ivy out there. Jenn has this plant app, that identifies plants, when she and the kids come over on friday, we're gonna see if she can check those plants we believe are ivy/oak/sumac. i've been treating this condition, as if it's either ivy/oak, or sumac. i had sumac in 2001, when we went blueshell crabbing. i'm very hopeful to heal fully very soon, and can move forward, and will be extra extremely careful while working in our yard and garden :) Thank you again ,our dear angel friends, for always being here for us :)



UPDATE! Holly and i downloaded a planter indentifier app, it's Eastern Poison Ivy/Oak, all over the side of our house, and in the grapevines/raspberry truellis area!wow!!! it's unreal, it's growing all over there!!! We're going to remove it.



It's one of our favorite days and traditions, sweet treats tuesday :) We love this very special tradition :) this morning, we had a sweet new day, rising and shining :) i was up early this morning ,enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and getting ready for my early morning nature walk :) we had some light rain in our area overnight, a replenishing rain for the nature, plants, and trees :) i gathered a nice bowl of goodies, and went outside for my nature walk :) i heard some birds around :) it's been very nature active in our yard, and neighborhood :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, and in the bird sanctuary area for our nature friends :) the leaves have grown more, and the trees look amazing, there's an incredible nature peace, when the leaves have grown, especially in the bird sanctuary area :) it's so nice, seeing all of the nature sights that shine this time of the year :) our spring flowers, plants, and fruit trees are doing very well :) it's definitely been a unique spring season, from past years and spring seasons over the years, i'd say that the nature of spring time has definitely taken a bit longer to blossom than usually, which has been good, as we've had some up and down weather ,from cold to warm, and even a late april frost this year, but each year definitely is unique, and different :) from the way nature sprouts, and blossoms ,it could be a huge season for certain flowers, fruits and vegetables to grow :) We're very excited for all of our upcoming may gardening adventures, and spirit soaring nature walks ,and gardening all throughout the season :) happy spring nature smiles :)

Exploring nature! :) Hi angel friends! :) Holly and i downloaded a plant indentying app, called "picture this" :) it's a free trial app, we spent some time exploring our yard, and garden, to check what some of the plants are. we did indentify the poison ivy/oak that is in our yard, and side of our house. we're going to take care of it very soon. We love our yard, and garden, and are looking forward to lots of super fun upcoming gardening adventures :)

Poison Ivy/Oak. we found and identified the Eastern climbing Poison Ivy and Oak in our yard, near our grapevines/raspberry truellis area, and also on the side of our house. we're going to take care of these plants very soon. earlier this month, i was in this garden area, raking, and it must have touched my arm.

Very surprised with the neglect of taking care of this problem. Why would you wait this long to remove. it. If you get it on your private areas you will hurt. Sorry to be blunt, but this is a serious problem. Hate me if you want. Hugs! Brooke & Henri

Hi Brooke, we're thankful we were able to identify the poison ivy/oak, and also studying online about the best safest way to get rid of it, so that it doesn't affect me, or any one of us anymore, as it's a very dangerous plant. The other plants, we did a check in, and they aren't the poison ivy/oak, but rather are a pear tree sprout, and also the other plant, is a raspberry plant. Holly and i talked and discussed with my parents today, about taking care of the ivy/oak. Thank you Brooke, for your concern, and thank you also Stephanie, for your well wishes, and prayers :) we're so glad, we could identify these plants, and also could share pictures, so that if anyone else see's this plant in their yard, garden, they'll be able to know what it is. keep safe everyone :<3
We love you all bunches, our dear angel friends :)

Wow! Thanks for the picture of this poisonous plant!! I’m going to keep an eye out for that! I think I saw a vine of this near our row of mailboxes at the end of our street! I’m going to go check today! I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you’re taking good care of yourself! Keep up the good work!! Prayers for you:).
