Hattingdon loves wearing ballcaps. This may be her favorite. The “Amani” ballcap.

The name Amani is from the Swahili — meaning “peace“. It also means “wishes” in Arabic.

We love poetry here. This is lovely and restorative.

Peace

by SARA TEASDALE

Peace flows into me
As the tide to the pool by the shore;
It is mine forevermore,
It ebbs not back like the sea.

I am the pool of blue
That worships the vivid sky;
My hopes were heaven-high,
They are all fulfilled in you.

I am the pool of gold
When sunset burns and dies, —
You are my deepening skies,
Give me your stars to hold.

Hello there. I have been away so long, I guess you could just say I was almost — long gone. But I am back now, for a bit anyway.

Considering the darling hat I am wearing, let’s just say I have “gone shopping”! Tis the Season. . . . right? What have you been up to?

Hey, hello there. It’s National Apple Pie Day. Hattingdon does not have an apple pie hat, but she does have a hat featuring apples — a ballcap celebrating the “Big Apple” — the city of New York.

Fun Facts

•  National Apple Pie Day, America’s favorite dessert, is observed annually on May 13th.

•  The first apple pie recipe printed was in England in 1381. The list of ingredients included good apples, good spices, figs, raisins, pears, saffron and cofyn (a type of pastry crust).

•  While the apple pie existed well before the Pilgrims landed on the eastern shores of what is now The United States, Americans wax poetic about how American apple pie is.

•  The phrase “as American as apple pie” has been around for more than 100 years.
