Sunday Morning Diary: Images That Touch My Heart From Bedam Farm

by Jon Katz

Nature is sending us messages once again.  Another beautiful morning at Bedlam Farm, a day or two behind the dread “heat cone,” a new and creepy term for 100-degree days with high humidity.

This means staying inside during the day, and I accept that I can’t go outside in that kind of heat and humidity. So I’m taking lots of photos and going around the farm repeatedly. I will think of all those people without air conditioning and with conditions like asthma and make sure to be grateful for what I have.

It was a special morning. Baby barn swallows, love for our animals, brushing for the donkeys, silhouettes of sheep grazing, Zip and Zinnia, Maria stacks wood, and hens in the shade.

Please come along.

 

 

The first new Barn Sparrow of the year was born two days ago in the barn. Zip takes away, and when he gets close, the sparrows zoom close and chase him away.

Friends Zip and Zinnia say good morning every day.

They were grazing on an apple tree in the morning.

Wildflower parade.

The imperious hens are beautiful sometimes.

 

 

Of course, she did it again. Maria stacked two cords of wood into the woodshed, placing them uniquely and all by herself. Two cords are coming next week. She wants to do it again.

  1. I always love all your flower pics, thank you for those, they lift my spirits. My college kid was here for 90 minutes to weed this morning, but so much more needs to be done. I would like to do some myself, but it’s just too hot and humid for me to try it, alas.
