Visitors to House Pooky may recall the green leafy vine climbing over that weird little archway next to the garage. It had a nice organic appearance, but it was eating the paint off the siding, so I pulled it all down (with great vigor, as it was quite thoroughly attached) as part of my Saturday endeavors.

Guess what? POISON IVY

(I know, yes, ivy and all, but I'd only ever encountered it as a ground cover-ish thing so didn't even think to check.)

Oh wow. That really sucks.

Guess there's an up-side to having most of the poisonous critters: the plants just don't even bother.

Oops. There's really not much else I can say. On the plus side, your paint is now safe and not itching anymore.
