Gardener's Badge
It's that time again, when I'm wearing the gardener's badge. Gardening is hard on the hands and my hands are showing the effects of grubbing in the dirt. I've had splinters, thorns, and stains on my hands. I've tried to wear gloves to protect them but before long, off comes a glove so I can get at the job better. Pretty soon, if the weather stays warm enough to work outdoors, my knees will be showing the marks of gardening, too. It's the only real way to garden, --get right down in the dirt with the plants.

Hopefully, I'll be able to dig in the dirt tomorrow. I know I might as well go ahead, take off the nail polish, trim the nails down because, as you say, the hands are going to take a beating. But, it's worth it and I am so anxious to get out there! I hope you have a really nice weekend Ms. Nancy. :)
