Little house, big footprint

 

John mowed and it sure looks nice after all the rain. More weeds and moss than grass in there, but at least it's green, for now.

We have a larger lot than most people in West Seattle, and it's kind of luxurious having a dab of open (some would say wasted) outdoor space. Needless to say, the lot is worth more than the little old house.

The developers would love to get their hands on this because there's room to build a giant box or a row of tall condos. That, I suppose, is inevitable, but for now we have our home with the birds and bees. Enjoy what you have while you can.

I went to ukulele group at the C&P Coffeehouse yesterday. The group has just recently been invited to use their spacious back patio again, a big improvement over everyone crowding into the front yard facing California Ave. 

The coffee house is surrounded by apartment buildings, and someone "up above" had complained about the noise from our Thursday afternoon jams. 

Apparently, this joyless person has since moved away, so we got the all clear from management to use their back patio again. We were delighted. It's just about impossible to embarrass ukulele players.  

Have a safe holiday weekend. Remember our heroes who have given their lives to protect our freedom.
