Fall is the Artist

 

 Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills, propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the Artist

Fall Fodder Road Trip

 There's something about the long Indian Summer days of October that makes me want to get out on the open road and see all I can see before Old Man Winter arrives. Do you like to take a drive? I love a good road trip and sightseeing! Even with gas prices what they are today ($3.50 and higher in these parts) I can still justify taking a ride! It's in my blood!

 If you feel the same way, buckle up and come with me! The Fall color we're known for world over in New England isn't here just yet, but I've got a heap'un help'un of Fall Fodder to show you, sure to satisfy every Fall lovin' farmgirl at heart.  We'll begin with a stop at a local nursury, (just because I LOVE how they gussy up for the season here in New England ) then we'll go  Pumpkin' pickin' at Billingsgate Organic Certified Farm Stand where we'll visit with proprieters Lynn and Peter Reading.

Debbie Bosworth, on the beach

Debbie Bosworth,
is a certified farmgirl at heart. She’s happily married to her beach bum Yankee husband of 20 years. She went from career gal to being a creative homeschooling mom for two of her biggest blessings and hasn’t looked back since. Debbie left her lifelong home in the high desert of Northern Nevada 10 years ago and washed up on the shore of America’s hometown, Plymouth, MA, where she and her family are now firmly planted. They spend part of each summer in a tiny, offgrid beach cottage named “The Sea Horse.”

“I found a piece of my farmgirl heart when I discovered MaryJanesFarm. Suddenly, everything I loved just made more sense! I enjoy unwinding at the beach, writing, gardening, and turning yard-sale furniture into ‘Painted Ladies’ I’m passionate about living a creative life and encouraging others to ‘Make Each Day their Masterpiece.’”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
– Mark Twain.
