Hi, Nini! My name is Carlin Whitehouse and I'm visiting your blog for the first time. I want to introduce myself formally to you and let you and your readers know what I'm up to on the Hill. I just started a one man lawn mowing company called Greener Grass. You may have seen my little ad in the Observer. Well, it is an honest attempt to truly help green Munjoy Hill. My service is noiseless and emmission-free (with the option of some electric trimming). I'm wheeling around a wagon filled with simple hand tools and a traditional reel mower. Imagine: a beautiful Sunday morning completely devoid of the ear-splitting whine of a black smoke-belching mower. I'm really excited to offer this to the community and welcome your input at cpinkhouse@hotmail.com My home# is 761-3739.
