I smiled after reading this, grabbed my "bonnet," my finch bonnet, a baseball cap with a goldfinch on it, and went out to my flower garden in the warming morning sun. And I smiled as I weeded and tidied up the wells around my flowers, so I don't lose one drop of water. And I've finished that joy and smile, again. Thank you....
Reminds me of the Sunbonnet babies, created by artist Bertha L. Corbett. She did a live presentation in Houston in 1905 to the delight of the school children!
The Houston Post, December 8, 1905, p. 4 :
“Miss Bertha Corbett and her ‘Sunbonnet Babies’ have taken Houston quite by storm, and her ‘art talks,’ or rather ‘chalk talks,’ are undoubtedly the most charming and instructive entertainments of this or any previous season. … (she) drew about two dozen in succession, relating at the same time some witty story about each baby. These drawings afterward were sold, a liberal commission going to the Art League.”
