Greetings from Tougas Farm

It was hot but gorgeous out on Saturday, so after some chores and lunch, we went to Tougas Family Farm in Northborough because we had seen online that they had some animals and strawberry picking. It was hard to tell from the web site how big the farm is -- it also has a big farm store, a beer garden, hayrides to the orchard -- and there's a huge goat area that straddles the playground with an overhead walkway, goat hobbit hole enclosures, and a barn where six newborn goats were hanging out with their moms. They also have apple cider donuts, which we got in a sundae with caramel, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. 

 

We stopped at Trader Joe's and Shaw's on the way home to get various things for the week, had Mediterranean food for dinner, and watched the Orioles' not-great game against the Padres (I don't care that they lost, but there was some ugly HBP tit for tat). We took a late walk when the temperature was finally cooler, which perhaps is why we saw nine bunnies -- they've been hiding during the heat of the day -- and we've been spending the evening watching the end of Discovery season two; I thought it was just sexism making the internet say that Burnham cries every episode, but boy, they weren't kidding. I don't hate it but it feels like fan fiction.
