Why is it considered rare that a woman can do yard and handy work?
I never considered myself a tomboy, but I learned the basics with my brothers...

Some things I am not great at doing, but I love cutting fire wood, working in the yard, keeping the garden, getting on the roof to put up decorations and building stuff.

OK, that and I inherited my hateshousekeeping gene from my granny.

I don't know. Most of my friends are pretty handy too. I learned out of necessity but I like being able to fix something if needed. I enjoy both housework, I like to organize things, and outside work. I am already getting itchy fingers to dig in the dirt for spring gardening. I live in south Louisiana and spring comes early.
