One prized hat in the midwest was one of pheasant feathers...expensive unless you knew a hunter. My mother's oldest sister was needing certain feathers from a pheasant to complete her hat...<br />I was maybe elementary aged and clearly remember my aunt asking my father to be sure not to damage the feathers she needed ! He said many unkind words about the request, but sure enough he provided the needed feathers and a tasty meal to boot.<br /><br />Thank you for the interesting prompt...seemingly difficult, yet easy when the fingers hit the keys ! <br />BTW, my Aunt of the pheasant hat will turn 100 in six weeks...none worse the wear for her special requests, and living alone in an apartment.<br /><br />Peace,<br />SiggiSiggi in Downeast Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977578917775406831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512327745848627452.post-44874060543053945942013-03-10T23:55:58.254+01:002013-03-10T23:55:58.254+01:00Thank you for your dedication to Carpe Diem Kristj...Thank you for your dedication to Carpe Diem Kristjaan.
