While at the Live Oak International, Ocala, FL on March 24th, I was saddened by the lack of hats at this horsing event. As we approached, visions of ladies in elegant hats and fluttering hand fans danced in my head. I imagined chivalrous gentlemen in their pastel finest sipping drinks from crystal decanters. I thought I might even see someone swoon.
It was not to be.
As with church, opera and the ballet, spectators of horsing events have slipped into a lazy mess of what I call "Walmartesque." By that I mean, they seem to have rolled out of bed, wiped the sleepies from their eyes and jumped into the car....
I was saved, however, by visiting the artisan tents where I got to "oooh" and "aahh" over some fancy hats after all.
These hats are gorgeous. I watched enthralled as the ladies tried them on and confirmed their purchases. I wish I had written down
their comments. It was classic.

Sunny spring day in FL:
- hearty breeze
- live oaks
- Spanish moss
- horse driven carts
- and at last.... fancy hats!
Perfection.
The horsing event itself was fantastic, you'll hear more about that in an upcoming post.
On our way out, we saw this wonderful Bumper Sticker:
