Thanks to @newenglandmom for pulling off a fantastic interpretive event in Newport today! The @newporthistory put together a reenactment of Rochambeau’s reception in Newport in the wake of the arrival of the French army. I portrayed Hannah Wanton, a Quaker daughter of a politically powerful and frequently Loyalist-leaning family, all new points of view for me to portray. It’s extremely rewarding to acquaint visitors with the realities and nuances of people’s lives at different times, and remind them that just as now, matters are rarely black and white. Case in point - Hannah’s/my gown. You may think of Quakers as plain dressers that favored neutral colors, if you know about their clothing at all. But those conventions weren’t held to quite as strictly in Rhode Island than Pennsylvania, and standards of dress became firmer in the following century. Hannah, being young and wealthy, could have probably gotten away with a blue gown, simple and unadorned as it is. If you are in Newport and want to see the goings-on, the event is happening this Sunday too.

I never understood yoga... until I had babies. Now it saves my life every week. Yoga, I take back everything I ever said about you. Yoga, you win. (It helps a lot that my teacher is wonderful and the location is lovely!) #yoga #quakermeetinghouse #frenchay (at Quaker Meeting House Frenchay)

@stthomaspubliclibrary I pause every time I see this exquisite stained-glass artwork by Ted Goodden. Positioned perfectly on a south-west facing window, this view of the Sparta Quaker Meeting House also affords a nice view of the library’s reading garden below.⁣ ⁣ -Neil⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ @neilhubert137 #teddgoodden #quakermeetinghouse #stainedglass #sttont #stthomaspubliclibrary #ldnont #stpl #stthomasproud #librariesofinstagram #books #instabooks #bookish #bookblogger #bookstagramfeatures #reading #bookstagram #bookaddict #bibliophile #ya #amreading #explorerailwaycity (at St. Thomas Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSfpTvHYge/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ri4cwzijyduc

A Wander Is Not A Slog -part 2. As I continued on my walk I found that the bridge was passable on foot. Passing honeysuckles, a wingless plane, a Quaker Meeting and a miniature church and marker. Never thought I would actually be walking a pilgrimage from a Hindu Temple to Quaker Meeting to a Catholic mini Church before returning to the center of Hockessin. . . . . #awanderisnotaslog #citycentre #hockessin #delaware #quakermeetinghouse #minichurch #winglessplane (at Hockessin, Delaware)
