Good Morning Gloucester

A few fall scenes from my drive up north on Sunday where the foliage there is just starting to dwindle a bit.   Grateful for the views we can indulge in no matter where we go in New England!

We had a school event at Marini Farm in Ipswich over the weekend.  Good peeps over there.  We had a really fun afternoon.  The boys hit all of the attractions that the farm has to offer, we got lost in the corn maize, ate some cider donuts, and shopped at the farm stand.  A beautiful ride home through Ipswich and Essex was a perfect way to end the afternoon.  Well, a pumpkin beer with a cinnamon rim would have really been the perfect way to end the afternoon, but we left the house at 7:15 in the morning for a hockey game in Stoneham and had to get home to take care of the pups.
