Some plants had broken off during the rains/wind and the Daffodil leaves have dried so I got a lot of those gathered and bagged.

I did go to the back garden and glare at the poison ivy. Some of it is dying but not enough to satisfy my revenge. Tomorrow I'll give it another dousing with Brush Kill. If it doesn't rain.
