Saskatoon Berry and Bonnets
Two
After all the millinery in the Quimper Hitty cupboard, the block twins claimed the red straw bonnets.
Young Ladies
Agathe has a crown-and-brim bonnet, and Opal has a clam-shell bonnet.
They felt like elegant young ladies for about one minute…

Saskatoon Blossom
They examined the blossoms…

Indeed life is pretty good when up a tree, at one with nature with a friend. Wearing their fancy new bonnets as well just adds to the charm of these two.
We are all enjoying the Saskatoon Berry tree, the view of which which was previously blocked by the Apple tree! Red bonnets make everything more delightful, we think!
Red is very becoming to these two Hittys. The adventure was fun and the bonnets are beautiful.
Thanks very much! These block twins couldn’t seem to resist climbing up the obliging tree, fancy dresses and bonnets notwithstanding. They have such fun though, I can’t repress their happy natures.
Delightful!!!!!!!!!!
We are so happy you think so!!!
I have to make some of these.
I find bonnet-making very soothing! Perhaps you will too.
The hats are charming and the blossoms, bearing the promise of delicious berries in the near future are lovely to see!
I think prairie Saskatoons would be better than coastal ones – ours seem to acquire a certain kind of small wriggly worm that makes eating the berries appealing to humans, though the birds are delighted with them…
Our Saskatoons are heavenly. We still have more than a month to see blossoms and fruit, but the wait is worth it. It makes walking the dogs a long slow process as I pick and savour the Saskatoon berries along the riverbank!
Gorgeous bonnets!
Thank you – we’ve really been having fun with them!
They are so adorable and even more so in red bonnets…..and up a tree!!
The world is a lovely place, when viewed from up a tree!
Those red bonnets are charming
