Life of Gardening Gloves

just wanted to post this on here.




This glove used to be a spotless piece of cowhide. It is now severed in various parts and caked with the dry remnants of the earth from endless days of toil. What once was a velvety soft outside is now tough, brittle and prickly; hardly protecting your hand from the harsh thorns of various weeds.
These hard working gloves envy the ones that keep our ten digits warm in the freezing cold of winter, the ones that are continuously soft and used year after year.
Nobody knows the agony that our beloved garden gloves go through, what they sacrifice so that our hands are kept in tact.
Pondering all these things makes me think that we should buy a new pair of gloves
