I love this... the photo and the Atwood quote. I do wish hats would come back into style. I can remember wearing certain hats that made me feel beautiful and were worn for special occasions. Now I wear mostly straw hats to block the sun and baseball caps but there was a time when I had some lovely hats.
wonderful photo. Hats were so smart - my grandfather always wore on & would ip the brim when he saw a lady. They don't suit me at all but I do wear a straw hat in the summer
“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be...’ - she always called me Elwood - ‘...in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”~Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey
I am a stay-at-home mom who is coming to grips with the fact that my children are growing up, and that is bitter sweet. I have several pets who understand me including a couple dogs, some beautiful pigeons (yes, pigeons), some chickens who boss me around, and a mourning dove who I believe is God's little whisper to me from heaven. I was a lawyer before I got really serious and became a mom. I love to knit, write, cook, and to take good care of my family. We struggle with my daughter's Reactive Attachment Disorder, and hold hands very tightly sometimes while we withstand the high tide of her challenges. Through it all, I am blessed to have a husband who is the corner piece to my puzzle.

I love hats, but feel like I look so geeky in one because my hair is so thick and long. I'm aiming for a cloche this year though. Red...
So true! And I love Margaret Atwood. I was looking for a hat on the weekend. Couldn't find one to fit me! My head is too big!!! lol
