Portrait: Ed Gulley Chops Off His Beard

by Jon Katz
Ed Gulley Chops Off His Beard

We went over to Bejosh Farm to help Carol Gulley wrassle with some computer problems and I wanted to do a portrait of the new Ed Gulley, he has shed the Duck Dynasty look and trimmed off almost all of  his bear. I think it adds to his smile.

Ed is a person who brims with character and emotion, and I think the new look bring out his personality.

And there is a lot of personality to  bring out. I offered him three dinners to come out to our woods with a buzz saw one afternoon and help clean up our meditation area, filled with junk trees.

I think he might go for it. We try to take care of each other, we can each do some of the things the other can’t, and the list is narrowing on Ed’s side. He has turned out to be a natural writer, blogging up a storm. He is also coming out as an artist, creating and selling his very distinctive farm art sculptures.

But he won’t change somethings, he refuses to learn how to type,  This is a wily move, he sticks Carol with all of the editing and computer problems. Ed respects change but it is a bit wary of it, as are many farmers. I was eager to update the new look.
