Clear storm damage from Joaquín's garden in Colorado Springs

Garden rescue day in Colorado Springs: bring gloves and a rake.

Colorado Springs
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Colorado Springs for 21 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a heart condition. The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Glad we found this place.
