The funny thing is poison ivy doesn’t bother me at all.

Hubby and I are polar opposites when it comes to skeeters and poison ivy.

I think the last of the t’storms are done for us. Are you down this way, or still “up north”?

Down this way where they set the fireworks off 2 hours early due to the threat of rain and managed to do it during a storm. CI’s deck bar isn’t a bad place to watch them from although you miss the ground displays while keeping dry. Not raining now when they were scheduled :)

I am like you, I could eat poison ivy for lunch and be unaffected but Mrs Heatseeker breaks out if she comes anywhere near it. OTOH I am so attractive to mosquitoes if I could figure out a way to hook myself up to a bug zapper without doing myself in, I’d wipe out the species.

Hi Gabz, I must have been born in a nest of Poison Ivy, I can walk through groves of it barefoot and in shorts without getting a welt. The skeeters used to love me when I was a kid, now I may get one or two bits the whole summer. Maybe my Delaware native blood is not good enough for them?
