That's Amore!

The moon rising over Yesler and MLK Jr.



and then LakeWashington

and our humble cottage.

Like a big pizza pie!

Hope in our yard

Hurrah for  hellebores,

and mock orange

and lilies

and the primrose that never stopped blooming,

and for the daphne odora which is pushing 

through the winter, making her hopeful way to us.

Saturday Retreat

For a Saturday, we ate an early breakfast.

It seems there was some big event in West Seattle.

We saw her working on a presentation this past week.

One oof our former keepers was also there and hosted the group.
She was too busy to get into the picture. :(

Cosi Fan Tutte

So after the retreat she kindly came home to feed us and 

NO sooner did we get our little heads out of our bowls and realized she had 

dashed off again...to the opera. and dinner.  and a talk. 

We didn't see her till midnight. 

But she checked out the dresses in the gift shop.

Although the opera was 3.5 hours, the sets were simply elegant  

and the singing was simply beautiful and athletic.

Waiting for Dinner

We are the victims of very busy weeks

.

So in order to get her attention in order to get food

we are reduced to doing cute things.

She seems to have time to photograph us, though.

Diamond drops and lights

We have a lot of hanging lights in our back yard.

But with all this rain we have thousands more--

little glistening raindrops catching the light 

and the keeper's attention and 

keeping her from coming in right away 

and feeding us.
