Garden Surprise Gardening was hard on her back, but she loved it, especially after spending two weeks with her grandchildren in Louisiana. They were fun, but everything was calmer back home. The weeding was the worst for her back — it required so much stooping. But this day she skipped the weeding and worked instead on rebuilding the narrow brick path through the taller flowering plants. Some of the bricks had broken up and crumbled, so she thought she'd reroute the path as long as she was at it. But she found a strange thing in the dirt where she planned to move the path. It was shaped like a daisy and seemed to be made of rock, maybe fossilized rock, and she was sure it hadn't been there last fall when she had last raked.
