I can totally relate.

Not only was my mom an unknown genius, but so were her mother and grandmother, whom I was blessed to know and learn from from childhood.

It makes me wish all the more that I had known my dad's mom and grandmother, both of whom died long before I was born.

His mom was a teacher by profession, so I have little doubt that I would have learned even more from her, though I have no idea if her interests ran to gardening, though I know her niece's did, as I learned a great deal from her as well.

Thanks for your lovely comment. Hopefully we can do these amazing women some justice through our own lives. ;-)
