A fancy straw hat with flowers attached sounds interesting but very impractical for December in the Colorado mountains (when and where my story-in-progress is set). But my heroine starts doing a lot of impractical and out-of-character things once she arrives to Noelle, so this could work nicely.

Trees cracking with the desperate cold of winter; springtime tree frogs joyously singing in the swamp; trillions of blood-thirsty summer mosquitoes buzzing at dusk; and finally - golden leaves swirling down, down, down in gusty autumn winds.Glenn Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024664299201723982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-49325097809670485712018-08-07T00:04:41.327-04:002018-08-07T00:04:41.327-04:00I love hats.

One is from Australia and it was very expensive and is supposed to keep the harmful rays off your head. Maybe yes. Maybe no. <br />I think your heroine might wear a fancy straw hat of some kind. Perhaps with some funky flowers attached. She sounds like a character.<br />Jodie Eschhttp://www.jodieesch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-37268100705647215072018-08-06T23:30:13.553-04:002018-08-06T23:30:13.553-04:00My favorite hat, would be my Bailey Resistal.

For all other things cowboy, I wore my straw hat. It still looked good, but the cost was much less than the Bailey and did not upset me when it was removed in one way or another, landing in the coral, atop a mound of manure, or in a puddle of who knows what. <br />I wore that Bailey to Calgary too. It just seemed like the right thing to do, for the Stampede. It even managed to stay put during the Chuck Wagon races too. :) chairman 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/04819673108783175130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-17380432090265025232018-08-06T21:56:17.799-04:002018-08-06T21:56:17.799-04:00Maybe you just haven't found the right hat.

It was considered a fisherman's style and he always had that hat on when he would go outside. Mainly to protect his head from the sun, but we always thought it was for fun. Sometime it had a fishing lure on it and other times it had a sports theme. Whenever our family starts talking about memories of him, his hat always comes up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692590080009675916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-11718551953394167072018-08-06T16:52:39.806-04:002018-08-06T16:52:39.806-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692590080009675916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-3198005617201083482018-08-06T13:40:19.703-04:002018-08-06T13:40:19.703-04:00I miss my family and funny enough, Main Street in ...I miss my family and funny enough, Main Street in my hometown of Edson, Alberta.
