I’m another one that doesn’t like gloves. I own them, just end up shedding them shortly after putting them on. As I was cleaning up a patch near my garden gate, I found a pair of gloves that must have overwintered out there. I’m sure it was the dog that left them there ;) Thanks for posting the “garden hands” post. I copied it down. It takes a lot to get my hands clean, but I can’t seem to keep the gloves on.
LOL, yes blame the dogs, but mine always ate mine. [gloves]
Washing dishes by hand, helps clean the hands after they get ugly from too much yard work.
In the good ole days, you might have soaked your hands in olive oil and worn soft cotton gloves to sleep in.
When I was a teen, I worked for a summer for a doctor’s family, maid, general helper, the doctor was a surgeon and the wall around his bed, had oily prints on the wall.
I was told that since he was a surgeon, he had to keep his hands flexable and would use some oil on them at night and I assume he threw his arms around and hit the wall.
LOL, it was the first time that I had ever seen a married couple that slept in twin beds, in our house, it was 4 or 5 to the bed.
Several years ago, I purchased 20 small surgical brushes at a discount store for 10 cents apiece. They are soft and gentle but take a lot of scrubbing to get all the grime from my hands but are better than any other hand brushes I have purchased. Will last me the rest of my life. (The children hate to hear me say that and I say it a lot lately about any big purchase.)
