We’re looking at a very lovely week ahead, not fall at all!  September in Portland is so sly that way.  This coming week is a great time to finish up yard projects and get things in order for fall. Or, if you’re like me, start chipping away at the mound of yard projects that were not accomplished in the summertime.

Need a tool you don’t have?  Take advantage of the newly-formed NE tool lending library! This incredible resource is up and running strong. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and can help offer project advice, too.  The library is located in a stand-alone garage at Redeemer Lutheran church, NE 20th and Killingsworth. Enter the church parking lot from 20th and head around back.  It’s free to sign up and free to borrow tools, how cool is that?  To register as a member, bring a solid form of ID and a bill with your NE address on it.

And if you have a tool you find you don’t need more than once a year, or something you have more than one of, consider donating to the library, which is always in need of more tools to build the lending base.  Power tools, garden tools and more are accepted.
