Between the first two Saturday sessions of General Conference we all went outside to do yardwork. Bryan manned the edger, Peter ran the lawnmower, and the rest of us attacked the weeds. Our big goal was to remove the small trees that had grown in the shade of our giant pine tree. It took us a bit to get there as we gathered sticks and pulled weeds in other parts of the yard. We finally began work under the tree. We'd been pulling weeds for about five minutes when Sophie announced that she'd found something.
Yeah, that's poison ivy. I'm impressed that she recognized it right away. Our work in the yard was cut short and everyone that had worked under the tree had to go leave their shoes and clothes in the garage and then go shower, just in case we'd come in contact with it.
We'll leave the removal to a professional.
