Looks of the month:

- a handwoven straw hat so broad it droops past the ears

- an absolutely humongous mandrake carried in your left hand

- some elaborate silver garden shears in your right

- a loose cotton dress with blousy sleeves that aren’t supposed to be rolled up but are

- dirt smudged on your nose and chin, grass-stains on your skirt

- a large canvas bag hanging at your hip, your green silk slippers stuffed inside along with an outrageous amount of wild onions and rutabaga

- the signature scent of petrichor and green tea

- your orange Maine Coon, Geraldine, who trails behind you lazily

- the absence of a blue shawl that was forgotten back at the local pond
