on the farm

Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments after our string of yucky luck and health issues last week. I suddenly felt much better after the bags of rotten freezer food were picked up from my curb on Friday afternoon, whew!

Now, back to some pretty pictures and fluffy~blog~stuff. ☺

We spent an afternoon at Jane and Paul's farm in Norfolk, MA during our trip to Boston the weekend before last.


While the guys did some golfing, we loaded up the kiddos and the new pup and drove a quick 10 minutes to the visit the farm. We picked apples.......and ate a lot of apples.
We fed some goats and dodged some free~roaming roosters.
We posed for lots of pictures in the pumpkin patch (some of us a bit less thrilled than others to keep saying 'cheese'!)








We saw a pretty blue heron on the farm...
...and a couple of very cool barns. I loved the purple door on this barn.

We got lost in a corn maze. Luckily we spotted the barn with the purple door through the corn and we knew we were headed back in the right direction.

We goofed around on a hay ride.


And even got in trouble for trying to bring our friend's new pooch named Boo to the farm.

Such a fun afternoon at the farm with our friends on the East Coast. They live about 45 minutes outside of Boston in such pretty 'country~esque' surroundings. So different from where we live here in Houston, what a fun experience!


The huge bag of apples that we took home that afternoon magically transformed into the most delicious apple crisp ever the next morning, thanks Erin!!

  3. I'm glad that you are all feeling better and that nasty smelling stuff is gone.
    Beautiful fall pictures. Did you hear on the news about the family that got lost in the corn maze. It turned dark and they were left. They called 911. They were very close to the entrance but panicked.
    No corn mazes for me.

  8. Hi Debby~ yes, Erin was telling me that 911 story while we were searching for the entrance/exit to the corn maze and searching for our kids that kept running off. Too funny but scary at the same time. ;)

  18. Oh my gosh Tricia! I live on the South Shore, about 45 minutes from the farm in Norfolk! I was totally shocked to read that you were here! I actually have never heard of that farm, which is surprising bc two of my high school friends live in Norfolk. I love the photos! :)
