Strawberry Picking

Check out them berries!  Gillespie Farm near Gray, Maine, had a huge variety, and a million strawberries.  EVERYWHERE.  And they all looked incredible, no smushed ones.  The beautiful colors made me think in cliches, of strawberries as tiny jewels.  Sweet, delicious, rubies.

Fall Walk

On a quiet weekend in Ipswich, Massachusetts, on Halloween weekend, I was lucky enough to go on a hike through a farm.  There was pastoral beauty everywhere, and jersey cows, and brightly colored orange and yellow and red leaves all over the place.  This of course led to adults acting like children and having leaf fights.
