    But does it resemble a maple leaf? They're pretty distinctive.
    No, that's the problem: beware!
    Western poison ivy is more bush or shrub-like. It
    also displays clusters of three shiny leaves that
    may turn colors in the fall.
    Both varieties small have flowers in green or
    yellow during the spring and summer. The flowers
    grow on stalks in clusters of five. They become
    grayish, amber, yellow or green berries in the
    fall. Over 50 types of birds eat these berries.
    Leaf shapes may vary from one type of plant to
    another. Some look rather like a maple leaf,
    while others are tear-drop or oval shaped.

    And then there's poison oak and poison sumac, just to confuse things
    even more....

    Kirkland products tend to be pretty high quality.
    Some consumer agency did an audit of olive oils,
    and all the big brands turned out to be adulterated,
    and the only widely available oil that was actually
    pure was the Costco brand.
    Interesting as that is one of the brands we'll buy.
    Many of friends keep getting Flip Flop Berio despite
    my warnings.

    Speaking of which, I'll be bringing some fresh-pressed, home-grown,
    organic grown olive oil to the Picnic... RJ brought me a large container
    from Turkey, from his niece/nephew(in-law)'s olive farm there... It's
    way more than I'd easily use, but he doesn't mind my sharing the
    wealth... ;) He got a few (from this year's crop) to give as gifts
    back here in the States... He says it's best for dipping bread in... :)
