Every year I forget.
I forget that for months on end the cleanliness of my nails is suspect.
That they often times look like this…..
That I have dirt under them and in them and around them no matter how I try and what gloves I use.
I have canvas gloves that I wear when wielding my shovel and moving plants around. They are getting a lot of use at the moment.
I wear latex gloves when I am weeding. They are excellent for that purpose because you can really get a good grip on little weeds and gently pull them out. It makes me feel like a surgeon. But on really warm days it makes my hands sweat.
Not a pretty picture.
But no matter what I use to protect the old digits I still manage to get dirt under my fingernails.
But I don’t care.
Not when I know that I can sit out here…… 
And just relax. I will have dirty fingers every day just so that I can do that.
Garden looks most excellent - now if you can keep those deer away from the hosta . . .
ReplyDeleteI'd do the same thing! Great garden!
