4th of July 2009

Posted on July 14, 2009 by Jill

 

On the 4th and 5th of July, I played violin for patriotic services at Kline Creek Farm, which is an 1890s living history farm. They dressed me up in period clothing, including a hat with a hat pin! 

It rained on the 4th, so we moved into the barn for the service. I volunteered to climb up into the hay loft to play.

    Jill, that outfit suits you so well! Maybe you should have lived back then…

    Can you imagine me climbing trees in that dress? It would be more trouble than it’s worth. I think I’m glad I live in this time period.
