Young nettle

Young nettle is the strongest — I take the top leaves, before the stem runs to stalk. Gloves, of course, do not save me anyway.

I am simmering an infusion for the solid shampoo: minimum heat, so as not to overheat it. April was generous with rain, and this year the nettle is taller than I am.

The bread turns out particularly well these days: the sourdough likes a cool kitchen. Everything is woven together — here too.
