Today was another nice, warm day and most of our weekend was spent doing yard work. Definitely not my area of expertise but I learned how to handle these chores while DH was in the hospital having his operation. It’s much nicer having him home and doing them together. He even feels well enough now to let our gardener go, says he wants and needs the exercise.I grew up in a household with a strict division of labor: mother was a stay-at-home mom and took care of five children and all the household duties while dad brought home the paycheck and took care of the yard work. I didn’t start “gainful employment” until both of our children were in school and always managed to be home with them in the afternoon. It wasn’t until DH was in the hospital that I did any yard work and discovered (to my great surprise!) that I enjoyed it. Isn't it wonderful to find new things to enjoy and love?
