Just a little Birthday Party

A few of Herbies joined our long time friend and fellow MN Herb Society member,  Barbara, to celebrate her 90th Birthday.   We were treated with a Bach organ recital at the Plymouth Congregational Church.   Accomplished organist, Philip Brunelle was accompanied  by oboeist, Robert McManus.  Thank you Barbara for a lovely summer afternoon filled with music and friends.

One of the 4 seasonal tapestries.  They were hand stitched and have taken 40 years to complete all four pieces of art.  The idea formed in 1968 and the last tapestry was completed in 2012.  These pieces measure 25' width × 16 1/2' height.  
Close up of the tapestry.  Check out that needlework.
We were told that people do sit on these benches.
