Maddox has only just landed in Boston and is already making new friends! Our Poppy introduced us after these two did their get-to-know-you sniffs! Click on Photos to Enlarge!
Although both 11-months-old, Poppy has most likely had a bit more experience adapting to all the cold, white stuff than her Atlanta pal. But, it didn’t take Maddox long to begin exploring all those frozen flakes.
So This Is Snow!
The idea is to stay as close to the ground as possible, that way you can make a split-second decision to roll, romp, or chomp!
Well, it’s obvious to us that our new neighbor has found a fun, new toy – and it’s free! Too bad spring will spoil all the fun (uh-h-h … eventually).
Maddox, you’re gonna love Boston and make lots of new friends. Thanks for being our Sunday Dog!

The icy cool water from this hydrant on Berkeley Street would be a little more welcome when the temperature rises about 50 degrees. Ed took photos of this gusher and the resulting flood on the Mall's walking path yesterday. He didn't see anyone ready to jump and play in the spray.
No one took the opportunity to splash in the wading pool created on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Perhaps this was an effort to convince Mother Nature that we are ready for warmer weather.

These are delicious essays that speak to the heart and soul of those of us who love to cook, eat, and think about life's connections.
Last week's, "Don't Wait" is so in keeping with my desire to enjoy each day as it comes along and not save things, treats, or time with the people (and critters) I care about for someday.

This week, we met a very nice couple out on the hunt for a Boston condo. I hope they were out walking around after this week's snow storm. Observing how promptly and how well a building deals with snow removal can be an indicator of the management's concern for good maintenance.
If the owners of one of the buildings you're considering have someone get out early and often to shovel a wide path and de-ice their sidewalk, it's likely they have a responsible attitude towards complying with city codes and maintaining the property.
You could use this map to delete a scofflaw property from your list. Download the Citizens Connect App and look at all of the reports for the area you're considering.
How Does the Garden Grow?
In the warmer months, you should take a look at the condition of the fencing, stairway, and garden in front of a property. Of course, not all Boston properties have front yards or gardens. But, many condo associations add a bit of color with a potted plant or wreath on the door.
However, if the spring real estate market is on and a pot of dead Christmas decorations is still in place, proceed with caution.
Check All Public Views
In some neighborhoods, public alleys let you check the rear of a property. Not all buildings will have a beautiful rear view like the one above. But, a nicely maintained rear facade is another sign of attention to detail and good neighborliness. And, in some cases, the alley will be the view from your home.
Stop, Look, Sniff, and Listen
Once you have a short list of finalists, visit each property a few times on different days and hours. Will the smell of garlic from a nearby restaurant keep your windows closed? Will the sounds of a playgound disturb your peaceful enjoyment? Will parties from a building full of students next door disrupt your sleep?
In addtion to all the financial checks and due dilligence you should be doing before you buy a Boston condominium, use all your senses to scan the sights, sounds, and smells that might impact your property value or make you want to move a year from now.
