Southborough flyover
I happened to be outside yesterday evening taking pictures of the glorious sunset … … when I heard, and then finally saw, these guys overhead: They were so loud, I’m sure the whole town must have heard them.

On the market this week
There wasn’t much activity on the Southborough real estate market this week. Only one house was added to the listings. None went under agreement and none sold. Maybe it’s just too darn hot right now to buy and sell houses. Thanks to Doug McClain (email) of Century 21 Commonwealth Realty for supplying the listing information.

In my backyard: Bambi times two
Look who decided to pay me a visit the other day: Does it get much cuter than that? And they came almost right up to the house. Mama kept a close watch from the edge of the woods. Well, hello gorgeous! Deer sightings are relatively rare around my house, which I find surprising given that Read the full article → from In my backyard: Bambi times two
