Electra in yellow

Yellow is a luminous color that attracts light, exuberance, and freshness. We can’t help but be drawn in by its perky cheeriness.

Electra in Yellow

As world history and Western symbology expert Michael Pastoureau noted in his book Yellow: The History of a Color, yellow shares a similar likeness to gold and honey, which epitomized pleasure and abundance in ancient cultures and religions. It also signified opulence since royals would wear it in their clothing.

If you feel yellow represents you, you may be someone who enjoys the thrill of a mental challenge and a wide variety of intellectual interests. 


According to Nina Ashby, psychic and author of Simply Color Therapy, the color yellow is symbolized by the sun and represents joy, light, and mental positivity. Spiritually, the color yellow is also embodied by the solar plexus chakra—the seat of power and will.

Ashby points out yellow is associated with the mind and the logical, left side of the brain that organizes information.

“A Hatful of Smiles”

1st Day of Spring 2023

We greet the first day of the new season with the spring equinox, but what is it, exactly? And why does the first day of spring change? Coming up. But first, a hat.

We decided on a fedora. Hattingdon always looks fine in a fedora. We put in the spring like colors of blue for the sky, yellow for the sun, and green for the um . . . greenery!

The Farmer’s Almanac tells us:

Rounded open quote in Hattingdon brown.

The first day of spring is Monday, March 20, 2023, at 5:24 p.m. EDT. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this was marked by the arrival of the Vernal Equinox (otherwise known as the “First Point of Aries.”).

Vernal translates to “new” and “fresh,” and equinox derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).

So what does that mean? Essentially, our hours of daylight—the period of time each day between sunrise and sunset—have been growing slightly longer each day since the winter solstice in December, which is the shortest day of the year (at least in terms of light). Read more »

National Earmuff Day

According to National Day website, March 13th is National Earmuff Day.

“National Earmuff Day is celebrated on March 13 every year. Earmuffs are categorized as clothing accessories or personal protection equipment (PPE), specially designed to cup and protect the ears from either cold weather or noise.”

Hattingdon just so happens to have something to wear for the “occasion”. And it is still plenty chilly enough here in Louisville to wear it too.

National Day continues:

“Designed by Chester Greenwood in the 19th century, earmuffs are a regular part of winter fashion and a necessity for construction workers. Their comfy fit and practical yet stylish design make earmuffs a crowd favorite. It’s a day to celebrate earmuffs by putting them on or giving them out.”

We love National Day who say they love having “Fun, unusual and forgotten designations on our calendar.”

So there you have it. Happy Monday and National Earmuff Day!

Get Over It Day

Hattingdon peace sign in turquoise, purple, pink, orange and lime green. By Vivian J Grant for Hattingdon Horses.

“On March 9, National Get Over It Day, people everywhere are encouraged to self-reflect and move on from whatever it is that may be weighing on them.

Created by Jeff Goldblatt — an entrepreneur who was having trouble getting over an ex-girlfriend, the day has its roots in failed romance — something that’s very challenging to get over. Realizing his pain was relatable, Goldblatt made a website and posted a poem. The rest, as they say, is history.

Let’s take some time to self-reflect, figure out what may be weighing us down, and decide that the past should live in the past. — More at nationaltoday »
