A Canadian woman who lost her diamond ring 13 years ago while cleaning her garden on the family farm is wearing it proudly again after her daughter-in-law pulled it from the ground on a carrot.
Mary Grams, 84, said she can’t believe the lucky carrot actually grew through the diamond ring she had long given up hope of finding. She said she never told her husband that she lost the ring, but only told her son. Her husband died five years ago.
“I feel glad and happy, ”Grams said this week . “It grew into the carrot. I feel it amazing”,
Her daughter-in-law, Calleen Daley, found the ring while getting carrots in for supper with her dog Billy at the farm near Armena, Alberta, where Grams used to live. The farm has been in the family for 105 years. Daley said while she was pulling the carrots and noticed one of them looked strange She almost fed it to her dog but decided to keep it. When she was washing the carrots, she noticed the ring and spoke to her husband about what she had found.
They quickly called Grams. “I told her we found her ring in the garden She couldn’t believe it ”Daley said. “It was so strange that the carrot grew perfectly through that ring. ”Grams said she wanted to try the ring on again after so many years. With her family watching, she washed the ring with a little soap to get the dirt off. It moved on her finger as easily as it did when her husband gave it to her.
“We were laughing, ” she said. “It fits. After so many years it still fits perfectly.”
