She’s NOT Loony!

May 2, 2007 by 2 Comments

This comment was just added from BDB Neighbor, Suky.   I don’t want it to get lost in the comment section of the last post, so here is Suky’s question for our readers:

"Has anyone else heard loons recently? (I’m serious). This is a first for me after 21 years of living here. I heard that distinctive sound yesterday and immediately went to an online audio bird call site to confirm what it was. Heard it again this morning at dawn. And I could have sworn I saw a pair bobbing around companionably off Emma Schmitz Viewpoint at about 5:00 pm. But I’m no ornithologist, so I’m hoping for confirmation. Many thanks for any enlightenment!"

Do You Know a Landscaper?

April 25, 2007 by 4 Comments

Mpph03441i00001We are in need of a landscaper for our home in the North Admiral District.   I’m calling around for bids right now… and I thought I should put a "shout out" to the neighbors. 

We just need the yard to be "groomed" and a low maintainence garden to be planted in front (this is not a huge space).     We would love your recommendations!   Send me an email or, better yet, share your testimonials with all BDB readers by adding a comment to this post.

Cell phone towers are all the buzz

CellI think that I shall never see

A Cell Phone tower lovely as a tree.

Perhaps, unless my wireless won’t ring

… okay BDB readers…here’s your chance to create the last line of this poem.   Submit your suggestion by clicking the comment link.  🙂

This was my inspiration for the silly poem above.

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I’ll never see a tree at all.
–   Ogden Nash, Song of the Open Road, 1933

On a more serious note…to read West Seattle Herald’s latest article on the cell phone tower issue in Alki, click here.
