I addition to obsessing about poison ivy, I also tend to 20 birdhouses, checking them weekly.

At least one of them is surrounded by tons of poison ivy, as seen here.

I wear knee high rubber boots which also help keep ticks off of me. 

Since we don’t really want people to be messing with the birdhouses we sort of appreciate the poison ivy barrier. But I wonder how many people know this is all poison ivy?
