I remember as a small child at my Grandparents farm,
having to wear a sunbonnet when I went to the fields with
my Grandfather. Oh, how I fussed. I wore it but didn't like
it. My Grandmother always told me that I would get a
heat stroke if I didn't wear it. After my Grandfather and
I would be out of sight of the house I would always ask him,
"Papa would I really"? and he would always say. "Hush now
and just keep it on your head, It makes Mama happy."
Well I never did get a heat stroke, so I guess they work
There's not many things cuter than a baby in a sun bonnet! I never remember wearing one but I remember buying them for my nieces who looked adorable in them. Give my regards to Deb the next time you speak to her. Hugs, Loretta
ReplyDeleteI still have the one from Mamaw
ReplyDeleteCute story Judanna. I don't wear a bonnet when out in the yard but my head sure gets hot without my hat.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely blog here Judanna. Hope you had a great Easter. Thanks for following my St George area, Sydney blog. I just thought I'd let you know that my main blog is 'Sydney City and Suburbs' which features a lot more photos and I actually update daily. I'd like to invite you to follow that one. Cheers, J Bar.

I don't wear a bonnet when I am out in the garden but I do have a silly straw hat with a big flower on it. My poor family begs me to not go out in public wearing it. I did love dressing my baby girls in bonnets when they were little. I loved your story. What a great memory.
