I know Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but right now it's the only day I can get out and work in the yard before it gets too hot, so out into the yard I went. Today's project was to get the privet
and the poison ivy cleared from the canna lilies on Mrs. Newman's side of the fence.
I've been doing this once or twice a year ever since they had to put her into a care facility a couple of years ago, but this year, I kind of let the stuff get away from me.
If you know me at all, then you’ll know how sensitive I am to poison ivy, so the first thing I had to do was to come up with a makeshift hazmat suit. And that’s exactly what I did. I recorded a vlog for it, but for some reason, YouTube isn't giving me the embed link, so if you're so inclined, you can watch it here: Putting On My Hazmat Suit.
I also tried uploading it directly to Blogger but they said the file was too big. I don't know what's going on. I've never had any trouble doing any of this before. Yes, I tried different browsers, and I disabled my ad blockers, too. Oh, well...That and the Clean Yard video were going to be the bulk of this post.
I apologize that you have to click through because I'm such a Boom-A-Ludd.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled content. I was a bit appalled at how poor my posture is in that first video. I guess it comes from bending over my brazing stand all day. I'll have to make a conscious effort to stand up straighter.
I'd gotten out early this morning before it got too hot, but the humidity was so doggone high, I ended up drenched with sweat anyway, so I decided to forgo mowing and come inside to take a shower. Once I'd showered, I wasn't going to go back outside and get sweaty again, so I spent the rest of the day mostly watching TV.
So, there's not much else to talk about today. I'll catch up with you later.

The long plastic gloves are a really good idea!
I wonder if the reason you were having a problem with linking the videos is because they were "unlisted"? I had my own problems with youtube this weekend ...
I do NOT blame you for not wanting to get all sweaty again. The humidity has been icky up here, too.
I don't think them being Unlisted is the problem, because I've done it before. But I'll change the setting and try again.
Dealing with Youtube can be sometimes frustrating.
