Do you have a favorite spot in your neighborhood? I didn't expect to have one in mine. Moving into a non-descript, new development was the best choice for us at this stage in our lives. I knew we were sacrificing character for practicality. I rolled my eyes every time Ben exclaimed, "Come see our wildlife!" the first month we were here. It was usually a pigeon on the deck. Exciting.
But since Sully and I have switched our morning walk to circling around the pond across the street, I've started to fall a little in love with our neighborhood. I like meeting the kids walking to school and being greeted by the other neighborhood dogs. I like envying other people's gardens. And I like the wildlife - the real, certifiable wildlife.
