Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's caption reads, "Actor Fred Coffin, a fourteen-year Miracle Mile resident, enjoys doing his own yard work. He edges his lawn the old-fashioned way, on his hands and knees skillfully trimming with old metal clippers. He looks forward to this grass cutting ritual. Coffin recently completed a screenplay and more than half the thoughts surfaced while clipping his grass. He says, "It's a wonderful way to think. A time to sort things out. Actually, the best thinking I ever do is with those clippers in my hand.""
