I drove by Bedlam Farm today, it had been awhile since I had seen this place and I was happy to see it looking lived in and well cared for, we have wonderful tenants who love the farm and keep it up well, there are children there, which is wonderful, and a dog and cat. They are thinking of getting some donkeys to help keep the pasture down.
I always feel a pull in my heart when I drive up that road, so much happened to me there, but this time it was different. I am so relieved to see the farm occupied, and so fortunate to have this family as our tenants, I can see they love it as well. I was invited inside, but really couldn’t bear to go in, it is still a bit raw for me. I loved that Jeff keeps his snow plow truck in the back pasture pole barn where Elvis, my 3,000 lb steer lived, and where Simon came to recuperate from his awful injuries.
It was a great symbol of the transition, it just looked right to me.
