Today is my birthday.

I started the day running a 5K to benefit cancer research, something personally meaningful to me. After getting the outdoor furniture put away for the season & finishing cleaning the house (it had to get done today!) I went out for Mexican food & margaritas with my husband & best friend whose birthday was yesterday, came home for birthday cake, & talked with my college kids. It was a good, full day!

I liked it because it looks very elegant.
It looks like a hat you'd see an English Ascot Day.
