I wouldn’t write more today, but sitting outside with Maria, I couldn’t resist. It was a beautiful day, a coming out from Winter (I know from living here a while that we are not nearly done with winter), so I took a few irresistible photos from a warm and beautiful day. Come along.

Maria was sitting with Fanny, they were talking to one another.

We put up the first clothesline of 2025.

The hens went to their favorite resting spot, at the feet of Saint Joseph.

My Willa Catha wife loves chores; she says they bring her close to nature.

Zip is the master of Bedlam Farm. No dog or cat on Bedlam Farm has ever gotten away with hanging out in the pasture while the animals eat. Like everyone else on the farm, Zip goes where he wants; he has befriended all the animals and can go wherever he wishes. He is the King of the farm.
