I have a friend who grew up around Florence, AL and the thing that stood out to me in every photo she showed was of the warm brown of the pine needles from the Loblolly Pines on her family’s property, and the deep blue water of the Tennessee River were they spent their summers. When the wind is rustling through the pines, maybe you can wear this hat to spend a few more minutes out in the beautiful scenery around you!
