Snowball report

The Minnesota Snowball has turned white.

The shrub looks pretty good for getting no care what so ever.

I have been busy in the yard and the driveways...it is that time of year to spray the Poison Ivy along the roadsides.  I wait for conditions to be right...not too windy.  I also walked through my baby brothers zipline area.  Lots of kids will be running up that hill later this summer.  It is located in the deep woods on a hillside.

    Good Morning, Those white blooms are spectacular. Your brother's zipline must be lots of fun for the kids. The folks who bought our Nalley Valley home put in a zip line down to the creek. Remembering you both in our prayers. xo

    I've always wanted to do a zipline. I fear my creaky body won't take it, though!!!

    Snowball bush is beautiful! No zip lines for me. I’m chicken. What do you use to control poison ivy? We just bought a place that’s loaded with the stuff. Hope Far Guy is feeling better every day!!

    Such pretty snowballs. I like them much better than the cold/frozen variety!
    We don't seem to have nearly as much poison ivy here as we did in the midwest. That's a good thing because I was so allergic I had to get injections weekly during the spring/summer as a child. If it could be blown on the wind i got it. On and in my eyes included. I'm glad to be away from it.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    What a pretty plant! Are you able to get rid of the poison ivy or does it keep coming back?

      It usually dies, the following year some may come back.

    I remember having conversations with my wife’s late cousin. She had live in Minnesota and told me about them. I really have never seen them in life but she thought I should know something about them. I did not. They are very pretty. My old foundation hydrangea is now budded but nothing open yet.

    I use Roundup for Poison Ive also as it comes back time and again. I hate to use chemicals but that's about the only thing that works.
