I just started wearing a hat for gardening a couple of years ago, a plain
straw hat. Now I don't know how I did without it. On a hot day I feel much
cooler with that little bit of shade, it helps keep the sun out of my eyes,
and it keeps my scalp from getting sunburned.
It's a pleasant thought now, as I'm going out to shovel snow in the 22
degree darkness.
