I’ve been trying to write this blog for a year. Last year I was diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM). It is a somewhat rare affliction. According
to some experts, IBM affects about 15 people in 100,000. It is apparently both
an inflammatory and a degenerative muscle disease. The cause is unknown and there is no
cure. Falling down is what we do.
I continue to garden with help. I continually search for tools to make
gardening possible for me.
There is so much more to explore in the world of
gardening. As I reinvent myself, I plan
to post highlights and lowlights of my gardening world. I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

Hortulus Farm, Garden and Nursery a non-profit foundation in Wrightstown,
Pa. Bucks County. The reasonably priced plant sales’ profits go towards
preserving the beautiful grounds and gardens. It was definitely worth the trip.

Oh, dear blog friend, I am so sorry to hear the news of your diagnosis. It must so frustrate your gardening urges. But, you are right - there is a lot to explore in the world. Now you have a new perspective. Look what Roger Ebert has done, now that talking is no longer his trade. He's built one of the top blogs in the world. I look forward to reading your reinvention.
I haven't done a good job of keeping up with my blog reading lately, let alone writing. I moved into my childhood home and have been renovating my mother's terribly overgrown yard full of perennials and invasives. But I will keep a close eye on your blog from now on.
And thanks for the link to Hortulus Farm. I see a daytrip in my future.

Glycine, Merci bonne journée à vous.
I love this plant and have lots in various parts of my shady back yard. I deal with the disappearing foliage by deploying annuals, containers, and ferns. This is a great one for seeding itself randomly around your yard. Delhi Flowers
Hi Marie. I've been away from blogging for so long, but came here this morning to see what was new with you. So very sorry about your diagnosis, but not surprised at your good attitude. You have always been one of my favorite bloggers, one of my favorite people. I'll come back to check up on you. Hugs from me in WI to you in PA.
Thanks Donna,
It was good to hear from you. I've missed you. I don't do much gardening these days but I do enjoy the old standards that seem to grow and flourish without any care. I take a walk around the garden, pushing the walker, every week.
The garden still gives me pleasure even I can't fo the gardening.

Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) is a condition that causes muscles to become thin and weak. Treatment for Inclusion Body Myositis is to boost muscle growth. One way to do this is to interfere with the mechanisms naturally present in the muscle that put the brakes on muscle growth so that muscles remain within the normal size range.
