*a road trip like this out to the countryside revealed the wheat harvest is well underway; not complete by any means, but probably 50% complete.  Now the rains need to shut-off so the farmers can get back in the fields.  The corn crop is pretty damned healthy, too.  Most of it is probably standing @ 5-6ft tall.  Heavy spring rains are good for them, to harvest late summer.

Toby and I out to Newman U.  Investigating a new area.  Toby headed face-first into poison ivy.  IMMEDIATELY following the walk, I had to take off my shirt to wrap it around Toby to protect my arms from contamination.  Once home, I stripped to get clothes into the washer and Toby into the shower…yes, shower, not the tub.  Once Toby was done it was my turn to shower.  Yes, I am this sensitive to poison ivy.  Even after all this caution, I’ll still watch for infection over the next few days.
