Hello Saturday!
I think I must have touched something I wasn’t supposed to {or Lucy did and then snuggled up to me} because I now have a bunch of red bumps on the side of my right arm. It looks and feels like poison ivy, so you know, that’s awesome. It’s only 8 am and I already want to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head and just stay there until tomorrow…. But you know how it goes, the show must go on.
On the agenda for today:
- Recycle and hunt for treasures
- Mail packages
- Plant tomato and pepper seeds
- Run the rake over the garden bench area, tidy up and prune away dead stuff
- Show up at the dinner table hungry {the HH is cooking today!}
- Go to bed early!
How about YOU? Do you have anything exciting planned for today?
Have a great weekend everyone, and stay away from the poison ivy!!
♥ Mavis & Lucy

Cait says
Oh Mavis, I feel your pain! We still have tons of high snow cover here in central Vermont, and while I was out checking on the chickens yesterday a bug bit me. No bug bites allowed until I can see the ground!!!!
Jean says
Could it be Shingles?
Connie says
I’m thinking there’s a possibility that it could be Measles.
chickengrandma says
My list for today ? It is to finish everything on yesterday’s list ! Ok, ok, some things from last month’s list, too!
Here in central Wisconsin it will only be in the 30’s today, so no outside activities. But have plenty inside.
Laurel says
Clean up blackberry and black raspberry patch, pick up sticks, be oytdoors till my body hurts and I can’t wuit sneezing! Tomorrow I will be even sorer, but those gardening muscles need a workout.
Mavis Butterfield says
Mine too! 🙂
sindy says
I got a pretty bad burn on my arm while cooking the other day. But the pain was NOTHING like the poison ivy I had last summer. I hope you don’t have it again. It is the worst!
tc says
My list for today, feed the chickens, had to fix the automatic door that didn’t open today, pick up flowers from TJ’s and deliver to the seniors and transitional care homes, take stuff to goodwill answer emails. (all done now). Next finish one of my succulent garden projects, plant some bulbs, herbs and mini roses, weed a few of the garden beds, get the weed strimmer out and start on the big job of weed whacking some of our acreage.
Tonight cook dinner, do some research on the computer and collapse into bed
Linda Harper says
I hate to tell you but you can get poison ivy when it is dormant and without leaves The same thing with sumac.
Mavis Butterfield says
I am going to have to look up and see what a dormant sumac plant looks like.
Heather says
Today is tasks around the house. I can’t remember the last time we haven’t had to be somewhere other than church on a weekend and it feels good. The weather is actually warm today in northern Nevada, which is sort of shocking for how rainy, etc it has been lately. My husband even drained and filled the hot tub. Back to getting things off my To Do List.
Rita says
Did you go to the Maine garden show? Thought it was this week but maybe not?
Mavis Butterfield says
Yes we did. I’ll post pictures of our adventure on Tuesday. 🙂
