Rock on, Mr. and Mrs. Påhlsson. And thanks for reminding me that the horses get carrots tonight.

Gardening is fun and can be a profitable adventure.

And the ring had these strange-looking characters engraved ...

" ... ash nazg durbatuluk ..."

Great story, with a happy ending.

After all, she could have found a different ring...

As my friend Fritz Osterberg, of Swedish extraction jokingly says: Do you know what’s dumber than a dumb Norwegian?

A SMART SWEDE!

The Carrot couple promptly sued the Pahlssons for possession of the keepsake...

I wouldn’t get that excited, it was only a one carrot ring.

Maybe I’ll plant some carrots and see if I can find mine.

What was she baking when she lost her ring - a carrot cake?

"We're keeping it in a safe place," she told the local Dalarnas Tidningar newspaper.

Might I suggest. . . A CARROT???

FTA: While overjoyed at the find, Lena hasn't yet started wearing the ring again yet, as it still needs to be re-sized to fit her now somewhat-larger fingers.

Rather ugly of the newspaper to mention that!

The ring may have fallen off when pushing a seed into the ground,
but who uses their ring finger?

Hhrumph. My guess is that she didn’t like the ring, was angry one night, and tossed it in the yard. She couldn’t find it later when she’d cooled down.

Or she put it in a specific place and decided all these years later to “find” the ring again and put it around a carrot.

Before you flame me, note that I base these theories on experiencing over 30 years of marriage... and watching many “I Love Lucy” reruns.
