Looks like this is one Boston parking ticket that won't be paid anytime soon, OUCH! Unless, someone is using this tree fence as their personal accounts payable bill spike.

Being bright red, it was easy to spot this little glove sitting abandoned among the leaves. This is the first lost glove spotted on my walks this season.
It looked new, so I moved it to a more visible location on a nearby fence hoping it might be reunited with its mate.

As we approached, Bear was patiently waiting for Poppy. Partially hidden in crunchy blanket of fallen leaves, this handsome two year old was hardly stirring and barely blinking – maybe he thought we couldn’t see him!
Bear and Poppy have known each other for more than a year, back when they were a bit closer in size. But, even though Bear is now a bigger guy, when it comes to playing, it doesn’t seem to matter to either one of them.
This loveable Lab is a gentle bear who’s made a lot of friends in the neighborhood and always makes us smile. What more could we ask of a Sunday Dog?

What's open in Boston on Thanksgiving, 2013? What's closed?
Do I have to feed the parking meters? What about street sweeping? Are the liquor stores and packies open? When do I put out my trash? And, what changes are there to the MBTA schedules?
We have the answers for you, all organized on one post that we'll update as new information comes our way.
.
Here's a rundown of what's open in Boston on Thanksgiving, November 28, 2013.
We post these rundowns early, when we notice our readers looking for the information on older posts. Because it's early, we will update as new information is announced. So, bookmark this page and check back. We'll send out notice of updates onTwitter.
Financial Services:As the British would say, this is a Bank Holiday with both banks and the stock markets in the United State closed. International markets are open.
City, Town, State, and Federal offices and facilities are closed:This includes Schools, Libraries, and the Postal Service. Only emergency services are available.
Parking & Street Sweeping
Boston Parking: You don't have to feed the meters. Other parking rules apply.
Street Sweeping: The city says, "Daytime street sweeping is suspended on city holidays, but nighttime sweeping schedules remain in effect. Constituents are advised to call 617-635-4500 for exact details."
Trash Collection & Recycling
Boston Trash Collection for Thanksgiving week – The city says:
"Thursday, November 28, 7am – Saturday, November 30, 2013, 5pm"
"Delay trash and recycling pickup 1 day only if you live in South Boston, Allston, Brighton, Dorchester, East Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain*, Mattapan, Roslindale, or West Roxbury AND your trash and recycling is normally collected on Thursday or Friday. *If you live in Jamaica Plain and your trash is picked up 2 times per week, do not delay."
Update 11/26/13: The city has published its red box summary of the day. Here it is:
Two Hours of Free Metered Parking
And the city has issued a press release with additional parking information for the shopping season.
"The City of Boston will be offering two hours of free parking at the City's parking meters on the following six days this holiday season.
Friday, November 29
Saturday, November 30
Saturday, December 7
Saturday, December 14
Saturday, December 21
Saturday, December 28
While payment at meters will not be required on these six days, the time limit on the meters will be in effect and enforced in order to give as many visitors as possible a chance to take advantage of this opportunity. Parking at the vast majority of Boston's parking meters is limited to two hours. However, at parking meters where the time limit is four hours, vehicles may park for free for up to four hours on these six days."

Meet Kasey Fechtor from Stillman’s at the Turkey Farm! She's ready to take your order for a holiday turkey at the Copley Square Farmers' Market. That's one thing you can check off your Thanksgiving planning list. (You can also order, right now, online.)
Reserve Those Pies!
You can also reserve your holiday pies or, if you're undecided which pie to feature, you can buy some small ones and have a taste-off this week. It's hard work but exploring all the options is a cook's responsibility. If you have to peel the rutabagas, you should get to taste-test the pies. The ones above are from Cook's Farm and Bakery.
Bring Home the Keepers
To keep those last market shopping bags from bursting at the seams, stock up on some of those supplies this week and next. Winter squash, pumpkins, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, apples, and carrots will keep until you’re ready to add them to your holiday meal.
Gifts for A Host or Hostess
If your role is as guest rather than chef, add a local touch with a gift from one of the artisan vendors at our local farmers' markets. One example is this selection of spreadable fruit from Deborah's Kitchen.
Or, a jar of wondeful local honey.

In this shot of the statue of Samuel Eliot Morison on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Ed caught the wonderful light that was shining through the foliage and striking the elm tree in the foreground. I like how the green of the elm and the trees in the yards across the street punctuate the fall colors.
We wander through our days with two cameras and two different photography prospectives. One of our weekly assignments is a cover shot for the Back Bay Sun. When it’s time to edit the photos and decide which to submit, it’s fun to see how the two of us capture different moments of the same scene.
When I walked by a day later, the sprinkler system on the Mall was being drained by Parks Department staff. As the water ran out and the spray turned to fog, I was able to capture the diagional rays of mist in the sunshine over the horizontal stripes of green and gold.
Don’t miss a holiday photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G16 Digital Camera will give you what you need to take stills and video of your celebrations. Canon’s G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11 and they still give us great service after many years.
They’re a little bigger than the compacts most people use, but let you shoot with automatic settings or easy-to-use manual controls that please the many pros who use them as “always with me” cameras.
And, if you are ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR and Penny uses the Nikon D600. Nikon and Canon make up our camera fleet and we are extremely happy with the performance delivered.
