When your hubby knows what you need but also what you WANT!

OK .. I guess this is filed as an early Mother's Day present(s) .. it was totally unexpected and totally COOL!
I have odd cravings .. I'll put that right up front and get it on the table, no holes barred .. I'm a bit loopy.
I think every gardener has a loopy side .. in fact, I don't think you can really garden without a loopy side.
It keeps us going when we hit walls such as losing a favorite plant to what ever conditions plough the poor thing under and out for the count.
Northern gardeners can usually put it down to a wacky winter .. which in fact is something we have gone through .. gardeners that get to garden all year long (now they are one brave crew .. I would be exhausted and in a heap on the floor moaning and groaning) .. hum ? .. I do that anyways once the dreaded heat and humidity heat us in the summer .. so we all go through that fetal position, moaning and groaning at some time right ?
OK .. I will get to the point now .. I have a lot of vines and quite a few grasses .. big ones .. ok not enough to thatch a roof with, but it is a pain in the butt to cut them all down come Spring.
Vines .. why do I put myself through them heaven only knows .. but they do becoming amazingly beautiful.
So what kind of a gadget would help me with a BIG trim up mission ?

... and it is cordless, there for not as easy to wrap myself in it and fall off the ladder ?
Cool right ?? .. I said "Oh .... that is nice !" .. thinking a tool? for Mother's Day ?
Then the icing on the cake came out of the bag .. humour me ?

This is where the strange cravings come in ... I have a THING for the "Travelocity Gnome"
I can't help myself .. I love this  little guy to bits .. every commercial makes me laugh and I maybe the one woman fan club here in Kingston ..
I said to hubby " I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS !!!"  some times hubbies can really get it spot on !!
One more time now !
Thanks dear ! .. I totally LOVE this Mother's Day booty !!

Every garden needs a bright gnome. What a wonderful gift. Even the trimmer as I know you'll enjoy having the right tool for the job this season.

That is totallyyyyy cool! I have wanted a cordless hedge trimmer forever but am affraid to buy one because I wasn't sure it would be strong enough to cut my hedge. I have a privet hedge. You have to let me know how it works so I can get one. I guess I could always take it back if didn't cut my hedge right? I have a cordless weed eater and I totally love it. It was the best tool I have ever bought.
The little man is going to look great in your garden(-: I am sure you are beside yourself today! Happy Early Mothers Day(-;

I've got hedge trimmers just like yours only I have a cord. I've already eaten through two so I have to be very careful from now on.

So you love this little T. Gnome, eh? I bet you love the Geiko Gekko too? I sure do.
