Take a look at what a thoughtful lady Nora turns out to be: I determined that Mr. Myles should do more than simply watch, wheelchair or no. I worked on the problem in my head. Two days later, driving to his apartment, I stopped at the garden and unloaded a large plastic trash barrel and a shovel. I wheeled him up an hour later, used my pocketknife to cut holes in the bottom of the barrel for drainage, and built up a fine sweat shoveling in dirt. I'd brought with me a dozen seed packets. (10.5) That's some thinking. Nora is determined and not afraid to get dirty so that Mr. M can plant his part of the garden. And from what she tells us, it doesn't sound like Nora plants any seeds of her own. This is one selfless lady.
