The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

➛ Good: we cleared a bunch of brush from the property – it looks so much better!

➛ Bad: the weather is just nasty cold and pretty dreary overall.

➛ Ugly: I got poison ivy on the back of my neck and a bit on my arms. It’s miserable, but seems to have improved a bit.
