The wind just keeps blowing and blowing… It’s probably not so bad for the people who don’t mind wind, but for the 99.9999 % of the population who can’t stand it – it’s bad!
So what else to do on this windy night other than work in the garden right? I want to get the frozen tomato plants pulled out and hopefully a bunch of the weeds that started to grow also pulled out of the dirt to get it ready for winter.
But first things first. Where are the chore gloves? Honestly this shouldn’t be that hard. I mean this summer I swear I put about 25 dozen (OK, that’s maybe an exaggeration) but I did put away a whole lot of the black and brown farm gloves that would be perfect for this job. And for tonight? Well I did find one lonely glove and of course it was the left hand! Well I was about to give up when I finally did find a right handed black glove but it was one of those stretchy gloves that you get from the discount stores. You know the kind. The ones that once you wash them and after they are dried they still do cover your fingers, but seem to have shrunk and now only cover about only half cover your palms of your hands. Yea, those gloves. Well it was better than nothing, and I put it on and outside I go. It was getting pretty dark outside and I almost went back in to get my head flashlight like the mining people wear. But once the yard light kicked on I could see better and got everything pulled out and raked together. It’s supposed to rain the next couple of days and then I’ll get back into the garden and clean it up a little bit better. For tonight it was a good job done!
So for now, I’m heading back into the house and looking at my glove situation. The left glove? It was looking dirty but not bad at all. The right glove? It only half covered my palm of my hand and had a big rip between the thumb and the next finger along with having the one middle finger tore completely off! Now I know that I should have thrown this glove away and be done with it. But after I took it off I put it into the laundry. Who knows, I might need it again. 🙂
