Granny, Granny You make me laugh and then you make me cry. After 60+ years, I don’t know if I could stand more than one hubby to argue with. We love each other dearly, but just have different priorities in life. When he wants me on the ground under one of his old tractors holding wrenches etc., I want him hauling rocks and turning compost. Talk about conflicts of interest!! What a great idea! Now how do I get the log split? Got to think on it, or better yet, you think on it as you have better ideas. Hubby does have another oldtimer friend with an old, old sawmill. Maybe some day when he has it running, I can “convince” hubby to take a six foot log up to be split and have two benches.
I, too, could easily use five more pair of hands, but would dread having five times the tractors and junk I have around now.
The tears came when you mentioned “In the Garden”, my most favorite hymn. One of my earliest memories (over 70 years ago) was standing at church during the period when members of the congregation would call out songs to sing, and I would tug on my mother’s coat asking her to call out “In the Garden”. It was one of the hymns sung at my sister’s funeral.

That would be the best way.
Or drive enough wedges in it, to cause it to split, and that is the kind of hard work that having 5 husbands to help with, would be downright handy.
LOL, I don’t want to argue with them, but in the words of my husband “If you had your 5 husbands, you work them all till they dropped.”
The truth of it all is, with 5 husbands, I would be stuck in the kitchen all the time cooking for them and have no time to enjoy the benefits of their work.
In the Garden, was also my favorite song as a child in church.
Ditto. I can hardly sing through that whole hymn without tears flowing. It's such a beautiful word picture of how I spend time with my Savior.
