Today on this day, in 1866, the wonderful , imaginative author Beatrix Potter was born. Author of the Tales of Peter Rabbit, Two Bad Mice, The Tale of Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny and more. Many people do not know that she was also known as the Lady of the Lakes and a great forest preserve advocate and used the funds from her books to enlarge her estates and grow her properties Hill Top Farm (unheard of for a woman in that era) Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Hunca Munca, and all of her writing, painting her watercolors, all funded her real passion for farming and nature which made her quite wealthy and showed a shrewdness in land investment.
Here are some photos of Annabelle taking tea and celebrating Beatrix Potter's birthday.
