Hair Attitude.

 Hah! Fooled yah!

 

I like wash and wear stuff.

My Selfie while waiting for a to go order at Culvers. 

Hey, I think hair is overrated by the beauty industry. I think men are made to believe that women, all women should have glorious locks of flowing hair. Well, some do! And some don't. Personally, I wear a baseball cap most of the time when doing anything outside.

Over the many many years of life, I've had many do's.

The colors have changed, from dark lustrous hair to some brownish stuff with lots of glistening silvers that really shine when I am in the sunlight.

But in the end, there I am, that person that wanders through the woods with a baseball cap or a winter hat.

My hair is there, it can be a bother, a hinderance, or a royal pain in the tush.

The girl that does my hair knows that I'll go home and put on an old baseball cap and wander out into the woods. 

What was hubby's reaction? I brought him a Mushroom Swiss Burger with fries and a soda. He grabbed the food with delight and then stopped and casually said...

"It looks nice."

Hair? It really doesn't matter to me that much because in the end...I'm the one who always ...

Prefers Hats!

Time for silliness

 

Bear on right: These hats are silly!

Bear on left: Don't worry, they look just fine. Almost like jester stocking hats.

Bear on right: They are human knit gloves.

Bear on left: Um, yeah but they keep my ears warm!

Well, what do you think about crossing here?

Um. No, the ice looks mushy to me.

Speaking of mushy, you are a bean bag bear.

Yeah, so what?

Seems to me you'd have a harder time hiking....

Um, yup, you are absolutely right! I think I'll just lay here for a bit.

The End

I like hats. Hats.

If I could have been and Indian Brave, I would have been. They had cool hats.

 I've always been a Hat person. I love hats. 

Many times my parents would let me dress in whatever I wanted to go out and play.

I think my mom took away that red furry thing on my head eventually. She thought it was nasty. I thought it fit me perfectly. I was more of a Wild Thing than a child.

I loved that nasty scrap of fur on my head. It disappeared.

Sometimes people gave me hats and I'd wear them a bit, but I always liked picking my own.

My Skunk Hat is my most prized hat. Rich bought it for me for Christmas.

And I have my fall/spring hat.

Or my Fox Hat with a Tail. I love having a tail on a hat. This hat is for subzero weather.

My chores hat.

I've nearly worn this one out. When I hold it up to the light I can almost see through it.

If you are wondering why I don't wear stocking caps ... I just don't like them.

I went to replace this hat and darn it.

I could only get this style in white. Not my choice, but it is warm.

A fall/spring hat that is just fun. It keeps the hair from getting in my face. My go to town hat. I can pretend to be fancy.

And then my super warm Mongolian [not real fur] hat. I wore this instead of the Fox hat while hiking the Reserve. Rich always points out that hunters might see the fur as something to shoot at. 

I wore this in very cold weather with some wicked wind chills.

This week this is my favorite hat.

For summer? I have a collection of Baseball caps. My favorite one used to be a black plain hat that has faded to some ugly brown now.

Look at it this way. I don't have to worry about bad hair days. I can have them all of the time and cover it up.

I like hats.

Guess I will always be that way...

Winterfest at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve

I have never been to the Winterfest at KVR but when my neighbor asked if I'd like to to with her and the kids, I said sure!

There were a lot of activities to do. I would have liked to see the dog sledding but we were pressed for time and went to the main building where most of the other activities were.

We caught a sleigh ride with some magnificent Belgians.

Yes there was a slight breeze that brought the wind chill down, but there were several warming areas and some small campfires dotted around for those who would like to warm up.
There was a tent structure with a story teller inside. And inside the structure there was a wood stove. We sat on bales of straw, warmed up and listened to stories.

Frozen Turkey bowling was a hit with the kids for a little while.

There was Snow Painting which I think ... at least on my opinion was the neatest thing!

I immediately saw that this could be done at home with a spray bottle and food coloring in the water!

And of course there was the llamas...

And ...
then...
I also got distracted by hats. I love hats. I love love hats.
And I found a fur hat with ear flaps and ... a tail on sale from Wild Things Fur. I couldn't resist.

I wore this hat the rest of the day. It kept my neck and face warm and toasty even with wind chills in the subzero range.

No more trying to figure out what to wear on my head during those winter snow shoe adventures with the cameras. Nope. I like this red head! Oh and the tail constantly wags.
Just call me a kid.

And I'll do chores in extreme weather with a smile on my face.

I'll definitely go back for Winterfest next year. I think the best part for me was watching the kids enjoy themselves so much.

And that was that.
A great day!
