Life in Massachusetts Lately
One of my favorite things about living here is how quickly the seasons change—and how much there is to enjoy once summer finally arrives.
Lately, our family's schedule has been filled with:
- Baseball games (lots and lots of baseball)
- Evening fires and s'mores
- Exploring local spots with the kids
- Celebrating exciting milestones with our real estate team
And while the calendar says June, Massachusetts weather has definitely been keeping us guessing. We're determined to will summer into existence one backyard fire pit at a time.
