You may not be able to buy happiness — but we sure think it’s possible to pick it at Fairview’s Flying Cloud Farm. Now through the first frost (which usually arrives in October), the farm will offer “pick your own flowers” for $10 a cup or $25 per bucket. Pro tip: Pack your own shears for an easier trimming experience and maybe a picnic box if you want an excuse to spend a little more time in these gorgeous, blooming fields. 🌼 |

Editor's pick: I'm positively obsessed with the idea of private dog park rentals. I wish they'd existed while my sweet, dog-reactive rescue pup Rufus was still alive. 🐾
