Aha! Thanks Eggsy!

This is the first time I've seen it on our property but from reading how hard it is to eliminate, might not be the last of it. Have to remember to keep my gloves on in the garden.

Nasty, nasty plant.

As a kid I fell face first into it and learned the hard way about stinging nettles. People grow it to make tea, and my goats will eat it off and on, it is pretty common here and yes use gloves.

OMG, face first?! That makes me cringe just reading it. OUCH!

There was my fair amount of hysterical screaming and crying I'm ashamed to say, but man they do sting and then some for a long time.

After yesterday, I completely understand. I'm a bit embarrassed to say it was the words that just flew right out of my mouth. Oops.

So we both swear like sailors if the moment calls for it. I'm at least thankfully in the country, I would probably get visited by the police in town. I'm both quiet and loud, depending on the circumstances.
