This lunch hour I saw the smallest northern water snake I’ve seen yet at Cutler Pond. It was about the length of a garter snake, and only a little big bigger around than one of those — maybe 5/8 inches diameter, certainly less than half as big around as one of the bigger ones I [...]
Arlene was in charge of hanging an art exhibit for the Newton Art Association that’s on display for the month of September at the Newton Public Library. The opening reception was last night.
