Sticks, it was indeed kind of a garden tea party - the property (not mine) had been clear cut and I was devastated to have to look at it. So to commemorate my birthday that year I invited a lot of friends and relatives to lunch. All females except for my dad, brother, and husband. After we ate, we went to the nasty property and I had a little cup of wildflower seed for everyone and places for each person to go, marked with children's pinwheels - we all sowed the seed to the soundtrack from "The Sound of Music." Best birthday I ever had!

Unfortunately, the thistle and the stinging nettles took over the whole 20 acres so it wasn't the success I had planned, but every once in awhile I spot a wildflower here and there and it brings a big smile to my face (and my heart)!

It's hard to see much in this picture, but I think you get the idea. The property is now for sale, but happily is zoned for only one house per five acres so we won't have a wall-to-wall community in back of us.

I am loving everyone's hats and their hat stories!
