Hi Lee.

Thanks for the guess of stinging nettle. That was very interesting and
I've found pictures of several types but nothing definite. Most of the
leaves are described as heart shaped and you can see mine are not. But it
may be in the nettle family somewhere. Great guess until something better
comes along. Thanks!

since no one else mentioned it, i'd say it looks like
stinging nettle. when young the spines aren't too awful, but
it requires gloves when it's more mature.
it's actually good to eat in the spring. cooking destroys the
sharp little spines.
