The weekend, Monday and Tuesday offered some of the warmest late November days many can remember.
Late November offered unseasonably mild temperatures that even tricked some trees on the Common into blooming.

Jamaica Plain is known for many things, but what few realize - except for those who often peruse JP's juxtaposed neighborhoods and side streets - is that it's a hot spot for color-happy homes. Bright orange, shades of easter egg, or multiple colors splashed onto one house are not uncommon. In this week's Viewfinder, we bring you the top ten colorful homes we've spotted in Jamaica Plain.
