This is the year of the gardens at Bedlam Farm, we are throwing our imaginations and bodies into the farmhouse and the grounds, we had a good time while the money lasted, (it was not very expensive), but that period is coming to an end. We painted the farmhouse, fixed up the pasture and the barn, added a new fence for rotational grazing, planted some new gardens, are heating our frigid bedroom. I think that’s about it for this year, but the results are happy.

Out in the garden, Flo the barn cat took up residence in front of one of Ed Gulley’s wooden flowers, and we put some daisies and begonias in the old urn. I liked the image, it had a neat symmetry to it. I think of this time as the greening of Bedlam Farm. The farmhouse and grounds needed some loving, and we were happy to provide it a month before the June 25-26 Open House. We couldn’t do all of the things we wanted to do, but we did a lot and we are more deeply attached than ever to our home.

Oh, and Maria just sold all of her Three Chance scarves. Very cool.
