Call me a chauvinist, but I don't like to ask my wife to do things that are particularly heavy - like mowing the lawn.

I'm sure that she could do it (if she could get the mower started, it pulls pretty hard) but if I can do it, I don't like to ask.

I run the chain saw and hedge clippers to trim back the bushes and trees, she does the flower gardens. She's got a much better eye for that sort of thing... I look at flowers and think "Pretty". She looks at them and says "Well, this color goes better with that, and this will look better when it grows in..." and so on.

Truly, as it sounds like with your husband, it's a complementary relationship. 'Tis why we work so well together. :-)

That puts you one up on me. I see green, and think "Weed. Must destroy." and I see purple and I think "Flower. Must avoid." Sometimes the flowers are green and the weeds are purple.

Indeed! Once upon a time my husband complained that it made him feel like a horses arse because I insisted on mowing and doing the yard work. I just explained to him how much I love doing it and that I would be very disappointed if I wasn't able to do it. He's gotten over his worries. :) Come on springtime!!!
