We're still in the season when it seems everyone is talking about gardening, planting, and the flowers they're hoping to see. I'm not one of these people. Sure, flowers are great, but bugs, worms, dirt...um, no thanks!
Still, I loved this illustration from a 1906 book for early readers. The little girl is concentrating so hard on digging the perfect hole to plant her seeds. Artist Bessie Collins Pease (later Gutmann) captured her intensity perfectly.
I'd love to hear - are you a dig-in-the-garden person or an admire-flowers-from-a-distance type?
