That messy house will wait for me and will be all I get to look at and work at all winter!   For me, puttering at home, in my yard is the best!  I could work on my yard with great joy all day and then play hard with the kids afterwards as a sweet and true reward.   Forget big suppers.

He sets his mind on the task at hand, doesn&#8217;t complain or talk my ear off.
