omg that last sentence! my gosh, we've come a long way, eh?! that's really cool about your mom. i love stories like that. the things hidden in our mother's and grandmother's gardens... my parents moved last year and so i dug up quite a few irises (that were my grandmothers) and peonies and other plants that my mom had established and they're now on my land to live another life and i can use them as medicine and food and for beauty, of course... that type of lineage is so meaningful to me. <3
