I read Jon Katz’s remarkable book Rose in a Storm last winter in the midst of a big Northeaster. I was hooked. I suddenly needed to know what Rose was up to. Fortunately, I discovered Jon’s excellent blog, Bedlam Farm Journal, and have been feasting on a steady diet of Jon’s daily reflections on life at Bedlam Farm since. Following their adoption of the donkey Simon, I had the opportunity to interview Jon and his wife Maria for my book, Horse Dancing. Jon is the real deal. Maria is too. I feel as if a part of me is nestled in a corner of their farm, relishing the animals, the light on the morning glories in his wonderful photos, the sound of Simon’s morning brays. See you there!
