Most of my work is administration, church meetings & services. But an important part is helping with maintenance and gardening in the hospital. This week I have been gardening - I am learning about pruning palm trees and I have planted my first cactus in an area that was covered in weeds until the 'Devon Demolisher' arrived - weeds quiver and die rather than come face to face with the terminator. My gardening skills were also tested when I had to clear the weeds from the potted cactus plants that surround our home, but with all those spikes how do you get close enough to remove the weeds. I searched the drawers in our home, that are overflowing with random things left behind by years of volunteers, and found some rather big tweezers, which I have since been informed are artery forceps. In skillful hands they make great gardening tools for intricate cactus operations. P
