Anna in the garden
it is too wet for me to be in the garden...
going thru old family photos...
here is a picture of my maternal Great-Grandmother Anna...
in her garden...I'm guessing sometime in the early 1920's
...she and my Great-Grandfather Joe
came to the USA in 1900
...she passed in 1924 at age 67
...six years before my mother was born
I was married with her gold wedding band...
looking for sunshine...
wish we could share the rain
with all those who really need it!

What a great picture. Sometimes the things we love come from deep inside us generations past.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother loved flowers. I never met her but I love to garden. Hugs
Cheri...Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! I've always felt a strong connection to Anna and her daughter Lucy...my Grandma who also passed before I was born. I'm sure I get my love of needle & thread from them! Thankfully my Mom has shared many stories with me!
Have a great day ~ L
P.S. Love Larkrise, too!
Awww..Love the old photo!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! I got my love of gardening from my Grandmother. She could do magic out there!
