I love the changing of the leaves during this time of the year. They are so beautiful and just shows us that change can be a great thing. XOXO – Bacon

It is just possible that at this time of year even poison ivy would look beautiful 🙂 It looks like the middle branch decided to change color sooner than its neighbors 😉

As is the case with all the sumacs I see. They also go blood red before they crinkle and fall to the earth, dead as a….sumac leaf in autumn. I have a bunch in my backyard. They grow everywhere and multiply like bunnies, which I also have in my backyard.
Poison ivy in the fall….hmmm, none of that in my backyard so I do not know.

Unfortunately, poison ivy grows in my front and back yard and I have to be always on the lookout when I garden. I try to kill it, but it usually comes back. The price of living in the country 🙂

You have to stab it in the heart with a silver blade.

I like your idea, the best I heard so far. Now, where is its heart?

You actually have to put your ear on the stalk and you will hear it and be able to lance it. Then you will have to treat your itchy and misshapen ear.

In that case, thank you very much! If that is the way to do it, I shall consider the alternative: my husband ( my knight in shining armor) with a nasty spray ( wielding a sword) 🙂

I have made it a mission to photograph every pretty red, orange, and yellow leaf I can find this year here in Alabama. I’m just not looking forward to the winter cold.

Yes, a great plan but your winter is quite mild compared to more northern climates, yes?

Yes that is true. Our trees are barely turning colors right now.
