I'm a gardener too, and I know just how difficult doing this thing that once brought such easy joy can be. It's wonderful that you're gardening again this year in spite of arthritis. Sure, there will be "payment" days. But when fall comes, you'll be able to bite into a sun-warmed tomato, fresh off the plant. And that's sheer joy.<br />My best wishes to you. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog.<br />-WrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
