Return to Bedlam Farm Part 3: an Exhausting Afternoon

So fellow travelers, I am about to discover the Cambridge spirit of generosity author Jon Katz often writes about in his blog. When I pulled the very noisy loaner car into the parking lot I knew what I found would not be good.  As suspected I saw an exhaust pipe hanging loose. I shook off […]

Return to Bedlam Farm Part 2: the Evolution of Experience

So fellow travelers, a new day brings new perspectives. I woke to the cheery serenade of a song sparrow perched in the grape vines which festooned the windows off the back porch.

Last month during our  lunch at the RoundHouse  the idea of a day trip to Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga Springs came up.  The main focus was for photography with tentative plans for a meal afterwards. I knew it would be well worth […]

On the Road to friends and high places: The Grand Finale Lyrics and Lunch
