I got to wear an ushanka

-
This hunter hat made of black thick fur, was a gift from a friend who traveled to Ukraine and knows how much I love hats. Back there, by the Baltic Sea and beyond, this kind of hats with ear-warmers (and originally from Mongolia) are called ushankas, the russian word for “ears”
Funny thing: this year I was almost looking forward for the winter to have the chance to wear it. It is so cozy and comfortable, I almost need nothing else to warm up, which is very convenient for a walk outside the morning after a heavy snowfall.

 
Esta linda gorra de cazador esta hecha de pelo natural realmente espeso. Fué un regalo de una amiga que viajó a Ucrania y que sabe cuanto me gustan los sombreros. Solo que allá estos, hechos de piel y con extensiones para las orejas (y que originalmente eran usados por los mongoles) se llaman ushankas que viene precisamente de la palabra rusa “orejas”
Difícil de creer pero este año casi estaba esperando a que llegara el invierno solo para tener oportunidad de ponérmelo. Tan acogedor y calentito que apenas se necesita nada mas para mantenerse cómodo durante una larga caminata, de esas que se antojan la mañana siguiente a una gran nevada.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
