Enjoy!

Katherine Marshall is hatless in many photos at the as the pictures are en famille. She did wear them in formal settings as style dictated.
I really love the large pompoms on the train debarking photo.
What do you think about her hats?

The song of the day is April in Paris by the Count Basie Orchestra in 1957.
I figured we could all use some springy music at this point of winter.
I love that this song ends, but then it doesn't ... One more time.
Enjoy!

Good morning!
It's a chilly 23 F and clear, high of 45 F. No wind so the smells stay close to the ground

I am still waiting for a nice big snow, but this ain't it.
Let's make it a great day!
