could this be a new look for spring?
This hat has been in my collection for two decades. I decided that the old black ribbon, stained from years of garden perspiration, needed to go. I fell in love with this french-wire spool and hope that this updated version of straw sustains me a few more years.
debut in the field last Sunday
The new bow quite resembles the french cherry jam spooned onto my crispbread both rich in color and sweet appearance—
rich and sweet
Yet not as rich and sweet as my views in the field last Sunday—
my love of barns continues
nothing like wood and metal
such elegant patina
a fine pair
bones of this farm at rest
teasel remains
I adore this time of year when views promise spring,
yet winter dormancy continues to color vistas.

I love love LOVE the new look you’ve given to your garden hat!! And oh my what a classy way to work in the garden Diane! I hope one day I get to have a hat with a French spool like yours and in that exact shade of deep cherry! I love barns – thank you for your collection. Many hugs! Sharon
Very lovely post.
I enjoy barn pictures, too – taking them, looking at them. These are real nice and look quite different than the barns around here. Nice ribbon, too! Jeanne
Nice update on your new hat ribbon, D. It looks even better than the 1st revision!
May the desires of those who have gone before us, who had the spoils of the earth beneath their nails, feel the vibration of memory that delves deep into the souls of
all who read this blog. Certainly, the early builders of these barn temples, those who fed our predecessors, shared a glimpse of the end result of the American Entrepreneur. I do believe that the loaves and fishes were of the same beginning, but of a culture defining commandments on stone. Many of us live an entire lifetime without ever consuming perfection. Thank you Diane! The fruit of your “barn” is one that should one day realize national distribution. It is the manna of joy. Ed
Great pictures and redo on your hat!! The farm equipment reminds me of a peacock!
very nice pics Diane.
I love your farm views. You are right, they really welcome in Spring as does your newly adorned hat.
Great photos Diane!
Love that Leica lens…
