Boy Scouts and Other Good Guys

I don't know if the Gardener was ever a Boy Scout. But he's someone whom I know I can turn to if I need help. If I need an idea for what to plant in my microgarden, or advice on lighting in the house, or an opinion on the longevity of my tires, or brute strength and energy to move junk around in the storage shed, he's there — ready, willing, able and enthusiastic.

Can you imagine what a boost to my spirit it is to have someone I know I can depend on? I'm not normally a person who asks for help. I'm the person who gives help, who sacrifices all my time to help others. I think maybe what I'm seeing in the Gardener is what others see in me!

Dependability. Wow! That's a fabulous trait in a man!

I can be depended on to loaf around, belch, and put everything off until the last minute. I'm still waiting to find the girl who recognizes these as the rare and wondrous traits they are.
