Walking around Brooklyn this morning taking photos, I came across this wall on Union Street, and was delighted to see my motto and mantra up there in the morning light. I say this to myself every morning. This is what I vow to do each day – Live, Work, Create. I might add, and Love. I love this photo, just about everything in it works. It’s one of my favorite, and I might print it out and hang it up in my study.

Last night, leaving Em’s book party, walking around Brooklyn with Maria, I could see living there. This morning, battling traffic on Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, I was eager to get back to the farm. The real estate market is beginning to pick up around here, so I’ll have to make some farm decisions. Today, my idea is a smaller farm nearby. A New Bedlam Farm with a few animals and the dogs and cats. But my idea changes every day.
