"The Injuns'll never hurt you, Molly-child! Why, if they ever saw your pretty yaller hair, a-shinin' in the sun, they'd think 'twas only a corn-stalk in tassel, and they'd pass you by for certain!"
(I have to quote that book every time I think of yellow hair.)
There wasn't a cup of water in the room to clean off my brush, so I just painted everything in yellow which naturally lent itself to sunshine and blonde girls and wonderful summertime.
