We are off to Chicago for a week of baseball, railroading, music, and a family wedding. If you need a Friday cat, you can click here.
Nervous Nellie's
Nervous Nellie's, who serve great Swedish toast and strong coffee, has moved to the corner of NW 56th St and 17th Ave NW. Check her out!
Grass implants
Over at the new house they went for grass implants, the horticultural equivalent of hair implants and about as weird looking.
Green roof
No, it's not the Nebraska prairie. It's the roof of the Ballard Library. It's a "green" roof, covered with sod and plants. It filters the rain water and keeps the building cooler. We'd put one atop Ballard Avenue Tower but the roof's too steep. Green roofs work best when they look like the Nebraska prairie, not the Duquesne Incline.
Poppies
From the way they strain to reach to the sky, you'd think there wasn't enough sun to go around.

If you need a splash block or a wastebasket, get yourself over to 28th Avenue NW before these are gone!
Friday cat: The 59th St cat
The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
Slow down you move too fast
You got to make the moment last
Just kickin’ down the cobble stones
Lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy
Hello lamp post
What-cha knowin’
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t-cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in Doo-doo
Feelin’ Groovy
Got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life I love you
All is groovy
