Went blackberry picking and have 4 gallons in the freezer for canning later. Stuck my arm into a thicket to get some gorgeous berries and found out there was stinging nettle in there too...been that kinda day. Seems like that is the world right now too, you think something is okay only to stick yourself in and find out it's not...and stinging nettle is miserable, hours later and I still feel like millions of little ants are under my skin humming....ick.

Curious - you were going to disappear forever this fall. Is that still going to happen? It's been sad without you on AU and I don't like Twitter/X so I avoid it there. Would love to have you back on here again...
