He lists the common name, scientific name, site conditions and comments about the
plants.

Put Those Tools To Bed for Winter
By Paul Rodman

If properly cared for good tools will last (almost) forever. A little time spent in the fall prepping
your tools will ensure a fast start to the 2012 gardening season in the spring. Read more at
Dave's Garden.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT LENDING LIST

Our community thanks the many people that have agreed to keep medical equipment
they no longer use so that we, their neighbors, can borrow it. It is especially nice to be
able to lend wheelchairs, walkers etc. to visiting relatives this Christmas season
(including one Mom who is 110!).  Nancy Garing is going to call everyone who has
borrowed equipment in their home now. We don't want to take anything back but we
suspect that some items have been returned or are no longer used and Nancy needs
to be sure they are returned and ready for others to use when you no longer need
them - plus she likes to chat with you. Thanks to all for being such great neighbors.
Let us hope we continue to be such a helpful and supporting place to live.

Email Nancy at
garingna@centurytel.net or call her at 638-2780 if you have equipment
you are willing to share.
