Jon Katz with his beloved donkey Simon

I had to share this post called The Rooster Syndrome by the wonderful Jon Katz.

If you don’t know about Jon, you are in for a treat.

His blog Bedlam Farm Journal is just one of the best around.

As he says, “come and see.”

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!
