Well, the Last Pig Barn Art Gallery Show to be held on this Bedlam Farm (there will be others at the New Bedlam Farm) will be June 23-24 at the farm, the last opportunity to see Simon, Frieda, Lenore, the chickens and barn cats in this habitat (I think of my homes as habitats). We are closing on the new house in mid-July and moving in then. Maria has assembled a half-dozen remarkable artists and will be selling their works in the Pig Barn Saturday and Sunday, 11 to 4 p.m. both days. The artist’s reception will be Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. I will be giving a talk and selling some photos and notecards. Battenkill books will also be on hand to sell my books, and I will be happy to sign them.

Although Rose will not be here, our plan is to have some sheep here, and hopefully, Red, the new dog, to herd them.

Maria is calling her show “Anointing The Goddess,” and it will feature paintings, photography, 3-D collage, photo collage, potholders, streaming pieces, quilts. Details on Maria’s website.

We ask that people not bring dogs or animals. We are not able to offer rest facilities or food at the farm but both are available right down the road at Gardenworks (518 854-2520). The public is, of course, welcome and there is plenty of parking. I love Bedlam Farm, it is a sacred space to me, but it is time to go, and this will offer a chance to say goodbye with some style and bang.
