Oh Pierina, I helping my ds plant a tree for dh on Father's Day, and had a fit! Even with gloves, dirt got on my hands, they sweat, and my nails were hideous. How on earth can you WEED??? I did catch a cute little king snake though. So happy to see your lovely self despite your horrible hobby.
seton, love your blues. I too wear a scarf days at a time. This summer, it's one mousse a week.
Maedi, I love that we share the Bird Dance love. Will post this week
momasaurus, you have some fabulous silk but your lips got me. I tell Anfang to gets some lippy on those beauties in my bossy way, all said with love and can't wait to see some Chanel red on you too!
How wonderful that you planted a tree. What kind? Wear these gloves over a coating of hand lotion. No sweat, no dirt inside until you wear through the fingers. I have multiple pairs and toss them in the wash after every use.
