This last weekend we went for a hike in McCormick's Creek State Park. It was beautiful; lots of birds, frogs, wild flowers, etc. At one point I sat down on a log to nurse Sebastian and realised I was surrounded by stinging nettles! Luckily Sebastian was not effected. It freaked Julien out, however. He was much relieved when we got up higher and there were no more nettles. I have to say, it really stung!

is an effective antidote against nettles.
Great to (virtually) see you!
So good to hear from you! Please email me. I'd love to hear how things are going for you in Chicago.
