I think that would be something to bring to the kitchen table and take a poll.also I am an aldi fan but here lately the prices here in the us at aldi are no longer that much of a value what about where you are from? bye for now I think I will drink my cup of tea and watch the snow fall. take care Debra LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-75877605856718380812009-01-14T20:08:00.000+10:002009-01-14T20:08:00.000+10:00Ohhh...You made me cry.

I get disheartened when I hear women denigrate men just because….. I didn’t fight through all those feminist years so that women could swap places with men, but so that we could work and live together as equals. I was never lucky enough to meet my soul mate but it really heartens me to hear that so many of you have. <BR/>RosieBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22603520284904581512009-01-14T09:22:00.000+10:002009-01-14T09:22:00.000+10:00Hi-I've been a lurker for a long time but this pos...Hi-I've been a lurker for a long time but this post really touched me because my husband is the same way--I come up with the ideas and he quietly impliments them.

Reluctantly he is helping out with the heavier tasks and has installed arches for grapes and has dug up some old concrete for an area for vegetable beds. It is in the early stages of development and we have some fruit trees in already. I hope the rewards of fresh fruit and veg will inspire him to get more involved as I am sure he will once he is feasting on freshly picked mulberries, apples, nectarines and of course fresh veg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-10390739297103250962009-01-14T06:27:00.000+10:002009-01-14T06:27:00.000+10:00What a lovely post!

I just can't stay discouraged with him around, and if things go wrong, just having him here to laugh together or work in the garden together, or any number of other things together, makes this life so rich. He's so good at keeping at the daily things and up for trying new things as we go along...it's delightful! You're exactly right...he's present in all our endeavors, the backbone and cheering section both, and without his partnership and companionship, I'd never have blogged day one.

My husband and I both work full time and don't have that much spare time but we do have quite a big garden and are into growing our own and doing our bit to save the planet. We have had mixed success on the growing front (well, it ALWAYS rains in Ireland and you can occasionally have too much of a good thing!). Anyway I introduced him to your blog the other day and he is hooked! He was drooling over the photos of your produce...! I am not sure we can aspire to pineapples but our sorouts were OK! Enough waffle: I just wanted to say your are an inspiration. I may even try to knit my own dishcloths. Watch this space! Some day I may have the courage to post pictures of my own garden...<BR/>EdithEdithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593836041916530327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-66364309018711169352009-01-13T22:50:00.000+10:002009-01-13T22:50:00.000+10:00Thank you for sharing this tribute to your dear hu...Thank you for sharing this tribute to your dear husband, Rhonda.
