Long-lost ring reemerges...on a carrot

Eighty-four year-old Mary Grams has been reunited with her long-lost engagement ring which, earlier this week, was found wrapped around a carrot in her Alberta, Canada vegetable patch.

Mary Grams told local media she lost the ring she'd worn since 1951 while weeding on the family farm near Armena, Alberta in 2004.

Out of embarrassment she said she kept it a secret from everyone except her son, going as far as buying a replacement ring so her husband Norman would be none the wiser. Norman died in 2012 shortly after the couple's 60th wedding anniversary.

This week, Grams' daughter-in-law Colleen Daley, who now lives on the farm, reportedly spotted the ring on a grotesque carrot she'd pulled from the garden while washing dirt off it.
