I can't imagine having to wade through them -- in shorts!<br /><br />When I was a kid reading A.A. Milne, I was always confused by references to nettles. I don't think we have nettles in Florida.

A few days ago I had to go to our cottage to see about some repairs, and when I came home I found two ticks on me, one latched on and one crawling about. Since then I have found three ticks on my footwear that I had been wearing (they had been banished to the outside deck just in case). This is the first time I've ever had a run in with ticks, and I am not amused. Thank goodness we don't have nettles to contend with too.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-38443737915480660522021-06-06T00:44:11.438+01:002021-06-06T00:44:11.438+01:00Am I crazy, or have I read somewhere that nettles ...Am I crazy, or have I read somewhere that nettles are edible?

Your mention of seeing your destination such a short distance away reminded me of an incident I had awhile back. After planting oak trees with a dibble bar (ever used one of those?) I only needed to walk about 10 feet to reach the access road. Problem was, the way was filled with brambles. I now understand how sheep can get caught. I hope the pain doesn't stay with you long.

Once the butler let you in, you could have had a conversation with Lord Standby that changed our world.
