Re: Gloves - poll

For regular jobs, I love these cotton gloves w/ rubberized palms and
fingers.  They were a gift from Donna so don't know where they came from.
They're as wonderful as she is!   Washable too.  Then for heavy work, I have
pretty blue (goatskin?) leather gloves that I believe I got from Lee
Valley.  The smalls actually fit really small hands which is hard to find.
I got a pair for Bonnie (Ohio) and she likes them very much too.  I think
her hands are even tinier than mine.  Great for pruning roses.
