I am ready for fall. Are you? Here is another beautiful scene at one of my favorite local farms, Tangerini’s Farm in Millis, Massachusetts. I am looking forward to cooler running weather, bulky sweaters and boots.  I love the foliage, pumpkins, apple picking’ and the whole fall scene! Every Monday, I take a stop in […]
