Thanks, Debbie for that reminder. Here in Pennsylvania on Ground Hog's day
we try to think of Spring which is the best time to visit abandoned
cemeteries. The winter snows have mashed down the vegetation and the weeds
and poison ivy have not begun to sprout. Plan your trips in early winter and
you may see more than at other times. But when digging around, you can still
catch poison ivy from the plant roots. Just ask one of our society members
last January!
