"Mom tended a vegetable garden and flower garden.  She had a passion for growing flowers and even carried water to them if necessary.  Mom always had an oxyalis plant, potted and blooming in the house.  This sounds like all Mom did, but as a wife and mother of eleven children this gardening was her hobby and relaxation.  Mom lived and died as a pioneer woman.  Her home never had
electricity nor running water". (written by Afton Murphy Powers)
