Hot days, dog days. Cooler Wednesday. We are definitely closing on the New Bedlam Farm this week, and I am equal parts exhilarated and nervous. Soon we will own two farms. Have lots of decisions to make about animals, hay, fences. Lots of interest in the farm now, no sale yet. I am closing my eyes and imaging what I want, how I see us living. I am focusing as always on what I want, not what I fear.

Maria and I sat together this morning and began to picture ourselves in our new home, figuring out the hay and living arrangements, fencing decisions, costs. We are already into it, the electric company has never of our new home so off on a search for the meter.

Lots of mystery, crisis, opportunity, just around the corner.
