Prep opened it's doors to women in the fall of '75, my junior year. I went there my last 2 years of highschool. I went to St. Georges for my sophmore year and PostFalls H.S. my freshmen year. Varied and eclectic education!

i have gardening gloves and pruners in the trunk of my car. i travel to help others do yardwork since i no longer own a house and miss doing it terribly.

Really? I've been feeling overwhelmed not just with teh weeds, but with the whole trying to figure out a plan thing. We should defintely talk.

really. seriously.

ask evlmnky about my working in their yard and helping her with identifying what should stay, be pruned, removed, etc.

i sorely miss getting dirty in a yard and working with living things.

ok, you have a deal! call me and I can give you directions. I'm going out there later today to get it under control, and I have lots of questions about what I should be doing, if it's too late in the year, don't want to kill the nice plants, do want to kill the stooopid weeds...
my phone: 503-235-5916
I'm also off work tomorrow if that would be a better day for you to come play in the yard with me.
