Gardening Gloves, My Hands Thank You

I have been a computer geek for too many years, my hands are like little kids hands, soft, smooth and blister prone. I even have to wear gloves when I go fishing or I get big ugly blisters that make it tough to do anything for days after.

When I am in the garden working or digging in the dirt or pruning. What ever it is that I am doing in our backyard caused problems with my hands. It’s not all about blisters. My hands get dry, then they crack and bleed, not a pretty sight. I don’t think I mentions that cuts and scrapes I get when I don’t use my gardening gloves.

Because my hands are weak there are things I just can’t seem to do but as soon as I put on the gloves I have much more strength in my hands. No they aren’t magic gloves but my hands think they are and that’s what counts, right.

I don’t get stressed over the hundreds of types of gloves on the market. The goal is to protect my hands. I am not into looking great in gloves. They just need to fit correctly and be tougher than me, with a good grip.

If a glove doesn’t fit right it doesn’t feel right and that makes for uncomfortable gardening in my books. I can’t stand it when my own glove pinches me, so the feel has to be comfortable.

Of course my wife has to have gloves that not only feel good wearing them but they have to be cute. Oh dear I will love you whether your gloves look great or not I am just glad your hands are soft and smooth.
