Happy Hump Day

It's Wednesday hot Austin July: Here's the recipe for the gardener's hand cream:
2 tablespoonsof grape seed oil
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin
about 1 1/2 cups of finely ground almonds or rolled oats

Find a ceramic bowl, a spoon, and a pair of washable cotton gloves.
1. stir the following ingredients into the bowl:
grapeseed oil, honey, glycerin.
2. Add almonds or oats and stir until it forms a thin paste.
3. Rub the paste over your hands then put on the gloves and wear them overnight (if you can handle it).

Re-use the gloves after a gentle wash and store the rest of your cream in a jar with a tight- fitting lid.
