A Day of Many Hats and Unfurling Possibilities

I walked out the door this morning wearing my business woman hat. I had a 9:30 meeting at the visitor center to talk about marketing strategies for the farm and fiber business. I found out I have archaic ideas about how to grow the business. I guess I knew that, but I didn't realize the possibilities available. Overwhelming.

After the meeting, I called a friend about an herb order. I am ordering some herbs to keep moths out of fleeces. We also talked about ordering medicinal herbs in a few months after I do some more research. A switch to my farm research hat.

Next, I went to the dentist in my personal cap. Good checkup and when I asked if we could extend the time between checkups the hygienist readily agreed, so I went up the street and bought a doughnut to celebrate.

Then I ran around collecting some things I need for the ladies fiber adventure, here Sunday.

At one of the stops I put on my congregational care chair hat and bought 10 cards to keep on hand for upcoming needs. A woman in our congregation put me on to a good place to get cards 2/$1 and nice cards too.

Before returning home, I had to go by the middle school and give one of my previous students her knitting back. Looks like I might not be wearing my school teacher's hat for awhile because many students chose jr. police academy workshop over tapestry weaving and felting workshop for the spring session. Oh well, can't wear hats in school anyway.

I checked the mailbox on returning home and found the book I ordered and have been waiting for. It had been raining all day and still was, so I read a bit before going into the house. The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable--back on with my farm research hat-- such exciting possibilities to explore.

Time then, to feed the animals and me. A quick on and off with my straw hat, and now I sit with my writer's chapeau cocked a bit forward.

I would love to don my sombrero and call it the end of this day but two more quick changes.

I need to be, my daughter's mama and shoot her off a quick good morning email (it is 7:30 A.M. in India right now), and say good night to my husband when he gets home from work.

  1. I'm curious to hear about your meeting at the visitor's center.

    Boy, you're a woman of many hats, but I knew that.
