Summer’s so over-rated

Lot’s of thunder rolling around West Seattle right now along with a nice summertime down pour of wet rain and hail.

They Grow Up So Quick!

The Barn Swallow chicks (are they called chicks?) next door are all ready out growing their nest.  In fact, they look like they’re almost as big as Mom and Dad.   Before you know it, they’ll have flown the coop.  *sigh*

I had to grin when the Chef told me the name of his company: Rain City Catering…it shares the same name as on of the blogs I’m an author at.  Unfortunately, I’m not able to find info on this catering…if anyone has info, please comment and let me know.

Willie, Beach Drive Blog’s Pet of the Week

There’s a special story about Willie that involves our Seattle Night Out from earlier this week.   You see, as our gathering were enjoying each others company, good food and nice weather, an alarm was sounding in the distance.   It was hard to tell if it was a car or house alarm…until someone realized that it was their home on Jacobsen.  Smoke was coming out of the back patio door.  The neighbors bolted and another neighbor at our SNO event called 9-1-1.   Within moments, the neighbor emerged from his home on the patio and gave us a big thumbs up, thankfully.

Willie, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, apparently was real curious about what was in the foil sitting on the stove top.  He jumped up to sniff it out (the foil was previously covering chocolate cupcakes–who could blame him?) and accidently bumped the stove on causing a small fire.   Thankfully, no one was harmed, no damage done and all is fine.

And who could ever be upset at a face like this.
