The event is an annual event focused on improving the local community. This year's activities were to clear underbrush and growth at Odiorne Point State Park. It was a beautiful location and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.
It was great to eat lunch looking over the Atlantic and feeling the salt breeze. It was also great to be out of the office and doing some physical labor.
I am an Earthkeeper!
However, after rooting around in the shrubs for a couple hours one of my teammates paused and exclaimed "We've been working in a field of poison ivy!" Honestly, I was not familiar with the plant.
Two days later, my arms looked like this.
I continue to heal, but one thing is for sure. Now I know what poison ivy looks like and I won't make the same mistake twice.
