Okay, I might exaggerate a little, but they were at least 3 feet high because they came up past my waist! In either case, they were big! I made this entry under the title of “reduce, ...

Can I get an AMEN? While I was visiting some of the sites in my dear Portland yesterday with friends, my neighbor decided to pay someone to come in and pull up every invasive thing in his lawn. I had a word with him and offered to keep it trimmed, free of charge, on a regular basis, which he said I ...
