    My hubby & I have been married over 40 years.
    He's a semi retired auto mechanic. Cars are his thing & gardening is mine. Today I found this on my table when he came home from the store. Thought it was very sweet since he usually grumbles about my plants 20170601_195658.jpg

    Even after over forty years our husbands can still surprise us Bosque. Isn't it nice when they do? Was the spanner for you too? ;)

    Oops - sorry I think you would call it a wrench. I tend to forget that here in the UK we have different names for things.:smt053

    Yep thats a wrench and its hubbys. Always leaving his tools laying around. Hey, I never said he was perfect. Just a work in progress. Hmm, give me another 40 years and I will see if I can correct that :)

    Isn't is wonderful to have a spouse who goes along with your passions, even if he/she doesn't exactly understand them?
    Keep him Bosque--any man who will bring you an Asiatic lily is one you need to hang onto!
