To Heaven with a Handbasket!

Maybe it’s because this winter feels like it is never going to end, but I am already itching to get my hands into a little dirt, and so this great idea from the Summit Dominican Nuns is singing to me!

Write the sisters:

If you are a gardener you know how dirty, dry and cut your hands can get even if you are wearing gloves! And admit it, don’t you often prefer sinking your hands into the earth during planting season?

This is actually a giant bone of contention between me and my husband. He wants to know why I don’t wear gloves; I like to feel and smell the dirt. He figures it’s an Irish thing.

The basket is crammed with good stuff, including the singularly great Hand Creme and a tin of what they call “Gardener’s Salve”:

…a blend of beeswax, cocoa butter, olive oil and essential oils of Lavender. Great for chapped or dry hands and knuckles. Massage into nails to help prevent splitting! Available ONLY with Gardener’s Basket!

I like this a lot! Hurry Springtime!
