Getting your Yard to look Great After reading multiple magazine articles on how to get your yard looking good, I decided to break it all down. For those of us who live in the Northeast, fall is the best time to fertilize, especially within the first 2 weeks of September. Put down a nitrogen and potassium combination. Fall is also a good time to reseed grass-warm sunny days and cool evenings. Depending on teh type of lawn will depend on the type of seed to use. During the first 10 days of October, spray a liquid broadleaf herbicide over the yard to get rid of the weeds and dandelions. Mow, mow, mow. You should mow twice a week with the blade set at 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Rake those leaves. You do not want the leaves to suffocate the lawn, or better yet-mulch the leaves back into the ground. ... 10/03/2009

World's End Hingham, MA   A couple of days ago we went hiking at World's End in Hingham, MA with some friends.  If you ever get a chance to go to Hingham, you need to go and check this place out. It is tree lined paths with sweeping views of the Boston skyline.  The 251 acre coastscape includes rocky shores, hillsides and open fields all to enjoy that afternoon picnic.  It is ideal for walking, hiking, jogging, horseback riding, cross country skiing or just enjoying some quiet time with a good book.  Only about 40 minutes from Mansfield,MA.  It is a wonderful place to go to and I look forward in going again in the fall as we start to celebrate the foliage season, here in the Northeast. 09/12/2009
