sea holly hats,
fascinators on the thinnest stems
with royal collars
Copyright 2018 Brenda Davis Harsham
Notes: All set to write about thistle, I discovered these are sea holly, a relative of the carrot. Thistle is Scotland’s national emblem. A friend is marrying in August suggests guests wear fascinators, the fancy hats Brits wear to weddings. So I have fascinators on the brain! *Laughing at myself*

It’s sad that eating badly is so much easier and cheaper than eating healthy food.

Something about them always looks like a Dr. Seuss drawing from Whoville.

An arrangement of these flowers would make a fascinating fascinator.

I love the poem.
But fascinators,
fail to fascinate.
I just have never felt the need,
to stick a silly hat upon my head.
Probably because,
they look ridiculous.
I do wear hats though.
Ski hats, snow hats.
The kinda hats you wear,
when skiing,
or visiting Antarctica,
when wearing a hat,
is a matter of survival.
I do kinda look good in those hats.
Because all you see,
of me,
is snow gear,
googles,
and the hat.
So, if I ever go to a British wedding,
I should wear my goggles,
and ski hat,
don’t ya’ think?
Love you Brenda!
