Syl and I were on our own this weekend, while M headed to Ohio for a last-minute join of her High School reunion. Although the kiddo was dealing with a nasty cold, we made the most of the autumn weekend. First, we headed to Verrill Farm in Concord to snag some pumpkins.
Quite a haul this year - one for every member of the family, and an extra for good measure because we liked its shape!
The extra, unfortunately, fell prey to a vegetarian zombie.
This morning was gorgeous, which was a good thing since I had my last (and longest) training run to get through. 20 miles through the most perfect fall New England landscapes one could imagine. We really live in a beautiful place, especially at this time of year.
Back home the mutts greeted me and asked, in their mutt way, why we hadn't taken advantage of the day to go hiking at Mainstone Farm. So we did.
See how serious they look?
These two trees at this time of year are my favorite part of our yard. They never disappoint.
Still serious.
Mainstone was glorious today.
Not so serious any more!!
This might be the best shot of the season right here:
Eagle-eyed Syl spotted this strange trick of nature... a pinecone encased in a leaf.
Until next weekend, Nature...!
