Coaching Day at Stratford Hall on 8 May 2011

You really had to be there to appreciate the horses and coach. They are really quite breathtaking!

Bettie Sue and I were at Stratford Hall for their Concert and Coaching on the 8th of May 2011. It started out a little rainy but cleared to be a beautiful day!  We were part of the group Backyard Revolution, the same folks who we first met at Monticello last year.

Bettie Sue's honeysuckle baskets. The bowls hold the various stages of processing the vine so it can be woven.

As well as my spinning demonstration, Bettie Sue brought her honeysuckle baskets to show all who were interested just how to take this obnoxious vining plant and turn it into a beautiful basket.

It was a very busy day and before we knew it, 6 hours had passed and the day was over. It was a very good day!
