Jeff helps my ideas come to life. I'm the plotter, he's my plodder. (Get it? I think it, he works it.)
This is no more obvious than this time of year, when winter finally gives way to my favorite pastime: gardening. I love, love, love to plant seeds and see them grow. For me there is nothing more enjoyable.
I don't think gardening holds the same allure for Jeff as it does for me, yet over the years he has pulled bushes, installed sprinklers, built garden boxes, created a seed-starting light rack, tilled the soil, and hauled wheelbarrow load after wheelbarrow load of compost so that I have worthwhile places to plant. He continues to stretch canvases for me to paint.
This is not to say that Jeff doesn't come up with his own ideas, because he does, and they're good. Yet I realize, more and more, that many of my ideas would never get off the ground without Jeff's heavy lifting.

I love your garden. It's beautiful! So glad Jeff got those junipers out with his heavy lifting to make way for your masterpiece!
I'm excited to get our garden underway too - but it's flanked by a field and an empty lot, so I'm nervous about little critters coming to gnaw on it...I'll have to keep you posted! :)
