A cottage garden in an urban setting


Macro Magic

So, I broke down today and bought a new macro lens, one that takes me even closer than the other lens I bought a couple years ago.  I’m not sure I really needed to do this, but I teach extra classes in the summer so that I can feed my garden/photography/house habit.

About Me

I haven’t always been a gardener, but I have always loved gardens. It has taken 16 years to get my gardens into the shape they are today. And, I’ve had help. I’m 74 years old, have rheumatoid arthritis, and had a late stage cancer six years ago. I am, though, intrepid. I’m the kind of person who plods along, tailoring my goals as I go. Last November I had a long overdue knee replacement surgery and I’m hoping this spring, summer, and fall will be able to maintain and find even more joy working in all of my garden beds. Full disclosure, though. I have a garden guy who comes once a week to work in my gardens.
