Last weekend, I sent a small crew from my Bedford farm up to Skylands, my home in Maine. The purpose of the journey was so that they could help the Skylands crew plant the vegetable garden. That part of Maine is very far north and consequently, their growing season is a good deal later than Bedford. Because I always like a visual report on progress, I sent a camera along with instructions to take thorough pictures and I placed Gyurme in charge of that task. I think the crew did a wonderful job with the planting and Gyurme did a terrific job documenting. Please enjoy his photos taken with a Canon G10.

When it came to my attention that my friend, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, was to open the season at the Caramoor Interanation Music Festival right down the road from my farm in Katonah, I thought it fitting to host a dinner party in her honor. As in opera fashion, the evening began quite dramatically with a severe thunderstorm. Thankfully, unlike an opera, there is nothing bad to report on that front. The storm passed quickly and the dinner party was a delight. Please enjoy these photos and by the way, which is your favorite opera?
