Jack's Winning Words

Does anyone spade a garden these days?

Winning Words 5/24/13
“Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with dumbbells?  To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise.”  (Marcus Valerius Martialis)  Several years ago a man that I knew offered his condolences to a neighbor whose husband had died.  “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.”  She answered, “Well, my husband was going to spade the garden.”  If our concern is serious, there are gardens in the world that need spading.    ;-)  Jack
