Hopes for a joyful Easter for your family and you. Took a journey today to my brother's homestead in Lakeland and out in his garden and I went out into his barn to take a look around and this is the first thing I saw in his garden okay give me a name give me a number what you think?
Said it came from my grandmother's garden after she died, now here's her obituary.
"
Now somewhere along that joyous journey if it wasn't hers through her family it came to her. So I know it's old but I'm just trying to figure out how old. Personally thinking possibly colonial. Family migrated from Virginia to Georgia in the 1700s.
Peace
