New sun hat for working in the garden.
It is actually the same as the previous sun-hat, which I had for over 10 years, before it got so disreputable I really couldn't wear it. I love the blue under-brim, which enhances that feeling of carrying my shade around with me.
Because I am the kind of person who got a sunburn when I was out watering the garden between 4:30 and 4:45 PM (no I wasn't wearing sunscreen), I also got a couple of loose shirts out of the same Solumbra fabric. I've worn these before as well, and they are exactly the kind of loose airy clothes that don't creep up when I'm crawling around that I prefer for working in the garden.
Geesh, it seems like all acquisitions all the time around here, which really isn't the case. I'm just too tired to write anything else this morning, and I do love my hat, perhaps unreasonably so for such a simple thing.

Haha Mardel. It is perfectly ok to love a hat! I love several. (c:
Gardening makes us wear such weird clothes – the feeling of freedom from norms, maybe, is giddy-making:).
Love my garden hat, too, and it eases the harsh light on my eyes.
I have the funniest old sunhat for gardening. Faded pink, hemp fabric, just the right size of brim for me to tolerate — would not be caught dead wearing it anywhere but the garden! Yours is considerably more stylish. . .
