A Child’s Turn at the Garden Hose

The farmer holds the hose while a Frederic Burk School child bends to take a drink, carefully cupping the stream of water with one hand. The striped shirt and short haircut frame the child’s focus, while the farmer looks on with a kind expression. Beside them, the teacher in her striped dress stands nearby, the scene radiating both care and watchfulness. This small pause in the day highlights the farmer’s generosity and the children’s simple joys on a warm farm afternoon.
