I have always been susceptible, and can't even imagine what my reaction would've been had I made leaf pile angels!!!TheChieftesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153059825142977202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-50837201207047017112010-08-23T07:50:15.897-07:002010-08-23T07:50:15.897-07:00This is hilarious!!! you have made me giggle this ...This is hilarious!!! you have made me giggle this morning, I thank you for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-4142735093918326412010-08-22T22:35:35.379-07:002010-08-22T22:35:35.379-07:00Thanks, guys.

If your reaction is anything like mine (not to mention my son's who has to go to the hospital and the staff shake their heads saying "we've never seen anything like this in our life"), then it was weeks of unsavory rashes and itching so incessant that you wanted to just be put out of your misery! Poison oak and poison sumac are prevalent here and there certainly are no signs - that's for sure!!Judy Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081035351814381283noreply@blogger.com
