Catching up on some older messages.....finally!

You pooh poohed us unwheelchaired persons as in "ha ha, you 
have to rake the leaves cause I am in a wheelchair."  Well, 
let me tell you about a friend of mine, although since moved 
to Las Vegas.  When he lived here, he had the most beautiful 
garden.  He was wheelchair bound except he did everything in 
that garden sitting on the ground and using his arms to move 
himself along.  He poured cement stepping stones, did all 
the plantings and in general kept everything in a beautiful 
order.  I was pretty impressed since I have a pretty good 
idea about plants and nurseries down here.  This guy was a 
dynamo.  So, I guess if you have use of upper torso, raking 
leaves can still be accomplished.  Darn it, right?  On the 
other hand, if I don't know what I am talking about, please 
let me know!
