Poison Ivy Update

It was brought to my attention that we were not targeting poison ivy, according to the pictures I had posted earlier. Our daughter-in-law, Molly, is highly alergic to it, so knows what to look for. We walked through the yard and found the culprits.


We just wanted to clarify this...the main thing we want to look for are the "leaves of three".  For my benefit, Molly quoted the ditty that helps us remember. Only line 2  is legitimate. The additional lines are provided by Molly, purely for our intertainment!
Leaves of two...good for you
Leaves of three let them be,

Leaves of four eat some more
Leaves of five let them thrive
Leaves of six pick up sticks
Leaves of seven, you have died and gone to heaven.

  1. Oh no! So you got rid of the wrong plant the first time around!! I am glad Molly set you straight! I wouldn't have a CLUE what to look for. Love the little poem. So, is it all gone now?
