Roof on Last Year's Greenhouse Expansion

This guy is probably the hardest working guy I have ever met.  I am a lazy bum compared to him, and that is no exaggeration.  You will not find many people that work as hard as he does, and he has been that way since I have known him.  This guy at one time worked three jobs at the same time just to feed his family and pay the bills.  A lot of men would have just filed for welfare benefits, but not this guy.  He drove a milk truck, did part time pastor work and after midnight worked for Service Masters cleaning.  Those were hard times, but he did not give up.  He still built this huge house we live in, planted trees by the hundreds, got several big gardens going, and still starts seeds every year. He now pastors two churches, who, God Bless them, are pretty easy going so he can still do way more parenting of this large crowd than a lot of dads do with just one or two kids. And he has been that way since we  had just the two kids.  I remember back in the early '80s when he was the only dad at Early Childhood Family Ed with our oldest son.  Every week he was there, with all those women yakking about parenting, so he could be involved in his son's little boyhood.  He finds us wood for the winter, bargains for the freezer, and harvests untold pounds of produce from plants he nurtures from seeds in the spring to compost at the end of the season.  He has many times done projects I wanted to see happen and then done them over again when I didn't quite like my original vision.  Since I have known him he has honed dozens of skills he did not possess when we first met, from running a chain saw to plumbing a house... from a guy who would never stand up in front of a crowd to a man who is quite a public speaker.  God has really worked in him, and I don't say often enough how proud I am of him.  So here it is, Old Guy.... I could not be more proud of you and thankful that God brought us together!  I love you :)

This was a couple of weeks ago now, but yes... we STILL have snow on the ground :(
