The name Simone is a girl’s name of French origin meaning “hearkening”. The elegant French feminization of Simon, it strikes that all-important balance between unusual and familiar, and oozing with Gallic sophistication.

She looks glorious.

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.

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 »

Yellow is associated with the sun. It is known as a happy, positive color. Yellow symbolizes optimism, energy, joy, happiness and friendship.
