September 16th 2017: A Day of Sunflowers, Pears, Blueberries and Apples

Even though it was gloomy today, we took a chance and headed out to Colby Farm in Newbury, 

where the sunflowers were blooming.

Definitely much better than Buttonwood Farm in Griswold CT, where the sunflowers were way too tall.

From here, we escaped the crowd to head to Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow for some fruit picking.

Apparently this place is way more popular than Tougas Farm in Northborough. We picked pears,

apples and blueberries

before finally calling it a day, heading to Westford for lunch at Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe, a Chinese takeout place serving pretty authentic Xian food, of which we got the Pork Flatbread Sandwich, Lamb Handpulled Noodle Soup and Hot Sour Dumpling Soup.

Not bad, although a little on the salty side. Maybe I'll check out their other locations in Woburn and Boston
