Beatrix Potter! I'm not sure why, but at this time of year when I am toiling away in my little gardens, my mind always wanders to Beatrix Potter and Tasha Tudor. Perhaps it is their beautiful gardens, the animals I must fend off from destroying my delicate plantings, spotting a rabbit now and again and imagining taking one as a pet. I become lost in thought and can daydream the day away just imagining the life of Tasha Tudor and how happy she was in her garden with her corgi (my favorite dog) bouncing around her.
If you love Beatrix, or you have little ones that do, you may enjoy purchasing the DVD with Niamh Cusack starring as Beatrix. You can find it here on Amazon.com. I will be purchasing it for my young granddaughter and will delight in viewing it with her.
