A nice suburban piece of neighborhood in a "city" - it's a suburb of Boston. I'd love to live on a lot of land with lots of trees, but at least here, on our little street, there's no house behind my house, just woods and then the cemetary. I always felt sorry for people with houses behind their houses, and that's how most of Newton is. I've got lots of wildlife here, though, birds - including pheasants and mourning doves, chipmonks, squirrels, newts, garter snakes, a short-tailed shrew - all have been spotted in my itty-bitty yard!
