Due to having legs and feet covered with poison ivy, thanks to ill-advised bushwhacking through Columbia’s wilds on Friday, RebbieJaye has been bound hand and foot to be kept from scratching.

Yet another glorious day is underway, with no sign of yesterday’s precipitational hullaballoo. Gotta love spring. The sky is blue, the tomato plants are growing, and there’s some kind of rock festival going on at Merriweather post that adds a nice fuzzy thumping to the ambiance.
