We have a shop in town called UNKL Al's Mobility Center. It was kind of hard to find online because of the unusual spelling. But it is an unusual place...so unusual that they probably get enough business just by word of mouth. In case they don't, check out this article:
Be sure to check out the part about walking on water
After doing a bit of shopping down at the Mobility Center and meeting Bonnie and Al and a couple of their kids, I'm starting to think they do walk on water. Check this out. Before Bonnie let me buy a set of lightweight aluminum ramps, she carried them out to our car and watched to see if I was going to be able to lift them OK. For her, enabling isn't just a word. She doesn't want her customers to just buy something and go out the door and be forgotten. She wants them happy and able to use the equipment safely and to grow beyond it. What a concept.
In our community many people cruise around in what we call golf carts (Al calls them "neighborhood electric vehicles") so we often think it would be fun to get one. If we do, we know where to buy it.
It would be fun to ride around taking pictures of everybody's spring flowers. We wouldn't have far to go to snap these, though, as they grow in our own yard.
They are called Yellow Bird of Paradise, and the leaves look like those of that lentil bean I planted a while back. After the flowers wilt and fall off, pods appear that look just like peas. These seeds are quite poisonous, however.
