This girl is working hard to get the soil ready for planting - and in a dress and bonnet, no less! She hasn't even seemed to notice the butterflies fluttering around her, encouraging her to plant something pollinator-friendly. (Or at least that's what I imagine they'd be whispering!)
This illustration, from "Surprise Stories" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, was published in 1923. And it's no surprise that Florence E. Nosworthy (also known as Florence Pearl England) did a great job here - she always does! (Yes, I make bad jokes and puns way too often, I've been told...)
