August nights, and meteors flashing like fireflies, said the bobcat.
Beware the nettles in the summer grass, said the little ghost Belle. And the mosquitoes.

A multilayered vanilla nettle cake with lemon verbena cream cheese frosting decorated with pansies from our garden.
The hubbs isn't ecstatic that nettles are hanging around in our small backyard, but he does like cake, so he mostly accepts it.

In today's #SpringWatch news, my first sighting of Crow's Foot
Geranium and White Dead-Nettle on this morning's walk. Also, the wild Cherry trees are starting to blossom. #Wildflowers #Geranium #Nettle #Cherry

I have a sore throat.

In my partner's backyard there is a young #nettle growing. Made into a tea, it is an excellent #placebo.

If I allow the needle nettle to grow up I can harvest it for #fibre in a few months, which will make myself and the cat very happy.

If my partner finds the nettle, she will remove it as a weed. It's her garden, she likes it to be beautiful, and I want the garden to bring her joy. She has my support.

I'm too sick to transplant the nettle.

Do I make myself nettle tea?

definitely a #TIL for me.
