I ignored him though. I was in a loose sun dress picking blueberries because it was so dang hot. I kneeled down to get the lower branches and put my knee on a nettle leaf and later one got me on the ankle. Tom was telling me I should wear pants (based on his childhood forced blueberry picking experiences where he mostly hid between the rows in the shade and napped), but I was just too hot for that. At least nettles do not sting too long. I wonder if you get immune to them over time? So far it has not happened, but it does seem like I don't welt up as much as I used to.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-26332335717868423592009-07-27T09:08:43.481-07:002009-07-27T09:08:43.481-07:00Holy Cow Donna - tell Tom I said no more hammering...Holy Cow Donna - tell Tom I said no more hammering for you !!!! Nettles are about my least favorite thing... I have a tendancy to do everything around our farm in shorts (and usually sandals too) so nettles are always a danger to my legs and arms. I can definately sympathize...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246604614508334472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-52570254582947650812009-07-26T13:49:29.825-07:002009-07-26T13:49:29.825-07:00Thanks for the sympathies.
