Okay Fine

Posted on October 27, 2012 by erineph

Binder Woman

Posted on October 17, 2012 by erineph

One of my neighbors has a yard. It’s not much of a yard, maybe 6’ x 8’, and there’s no landscaping in it. Just a square patch of grass, easily maintained (one would think). Today, there are landscape dudes back … Continue reading →
