.... because I'm an idiot, that's why

Seriously? I know me. And I know that between now and next spring, I will have totally forgotten what the poison ivy on the edge of my property looks like. Thus, a visual aid:






I think I'll put that up as my screensaver. Just to make sure.

Um, I'm pretty sure that's not poison ivy. PI leaves are very smooth. Those leaves look coarse. PI stems are smooth, except where they touch a surface they will grow rootlets in a line from either side of the stem. If you see hairs, stickers, thorns, or anything like that all around the stems, it's not PI - more likely some kind of bramble, wild raspberry, or wild rose.

Lots of good photos of PI and not-PI here: http://poisonivy.aesir.com/view/picqna.html?func=viewQNA&did=1175&wid=486
