Making the Most of Fall in New England

Here in New England, we are in the middle of a drought. Summer was very dry and warm, and so far this Fall we haven't seen enough rain to eliminate the drought conditions. We've heard a lot about the fact that we wouldn't have very much foliage because it has been so dry. This past weekend, we got out and explored and were thrilled to see so many vibrant, beautiful colors! We're at the peak of it so the short burst of the season is better than none at all in my opinion! The colors are spectacular!!!!

One stop was to a farm where we journeyed through a gigantic corn maze shaped like a frog. It was fun, we answered all sorts of trivia to make our way through the maze. Educational and active!

 

We also checked out their farmstand which is always fun at harvest time! So many pumpkins! 

and these gigantic...gourds? squash? Not sure but hey were everywhere! 

Our last stop was to visit the sheep. It was SO fun! We've visited sheep before but never this many and we were fascinated to see two sheepdogs herding them. It was really interesting and they truly were in control! 

Our plan is to get out and explore more this upcoming weekend and take full advantage of the sites! One of the things I love about living here is the seasons are beautiful and signify what's to come. I so love sharing the seasonal beauty with my kids, who get excited about the adventures throughout the year.

Have a great weekend my friends! What adventures are you planning this weekend?
