Today, I purchased a Shepard’s Rod to put hanging baskets in my yard.  Howard did an excellent job of assisting me dig the Shepard’s Rod  out of the ground and help me fit/place the Shepard’s Rod into my car.  I probably would not have purchased the Shepard’s Rod without Howard’s assistance.  A tree root had grown on top of the base of the Shepard’s Pie, making it impossible to simply pull the Shepard’s rod out of the ground.  Howard was able to carefully get the Shepard’s Rod out of the ground. Howard also assisted me with fitting the Shepard’s Rod inside my car.  I really appreciate how helpful and positive Howard was during my shopping at the estate sales in Olney, MD today.
