By chance I met a new neighbor the other evening when I spotted a loose dog in the middle of Upland Road. Concerned for the dog's safety -- it's a busy road -- I pulled into the next driveway and asked if their dog was out.
Yes, he was, said the owner, who immediately called to "Boo." Fortunately, he came running.
The woman introduced herself and thanked me over and over. I told her I loved what she was doing with the house, which before she bought it had started to become a tad shabby.
"Oh, it just needed a little love," she said modestly. "It's a work in progress."
