The persistence of pencils
So fellow travelers, lots of photos and posts on the b.b.c. pages about this past weekend’s Open House at Bedlam Farm. One caught my eye. Indeed, I saw the pencil can Jon Katz refers to. It was at that moment sitting by a tree. It stopped me in my tracks. I lowered my camera, because it […]

City in the Mist
So fellow travelers, as the weekend of the Bedlam Farm Open House draws closer I find myself waking in the early hours of morning with random anxious thoughts about not making the trip.
