Greetings from Phillipston

We had absolutely perfect weather on Saturday. We thought we were going to Gloucester for a festival and to meet a friend I haven't seen since high school, but it turned out he had relatives visiting and I had the wrong day for the event, so instead of the long drive east, we went to Red Apple Farm for their sunflower festival. There were, as expected, two big fields of sunflowers, and also early apples and pumpkins, live music on multiple stages, local craft tents, apple cider donut sundaes, bees and finches in the flowers, and goats, donkeys, and bunnies out greeting visitors while begging for food.

 

We stopped at Shaw's on the way home, then switched back and forth between the Orioles and Red Sox around dinner (they both won, though it was a near thing for the Orioles and the Sox were only up by one until the ninth). Then we watched Office Romance, the Jennifer Lopez-Brett Goldstein rom-com with a cast (Bradley Whitford, Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris, Edward James Olmos, Michelle Hurd) that's vastly better than the screenplay, but it's worth watching to hear Betty Gilpin (playing very on type) and Jodie Whittaker (very not on type) snark at everyone they come into contact with; not good if you hate cringe though!
