My blogging friend, Bella, over at One Sister’s Rant suggested that we all grab our cameras and show off a little corner of our neighborhoods. So, here’s my little slice of Seattle.
In my own front yard!
Dandy lil pub at the corner. Too bad the bent-in-half street sign was removed last week.
Fancy an afternoon tea?
Did she say 200 cups? I’ll need some tea biscuits with that.
Super cute inside!
Dogwoods and poppies. Isn’t that orange amazing?

As most of you know, last week a terrible shooting ripped through Seattle, and it started only about one mile away at the Racer Cafe, where four people were killed. The gunman killed another woman downtown while stealing her car. When police closed in on him later that afternoon in West Seattle, he shot and killed himself.
It feels cliche to say our hearts are with those who lost loved ones, but it really is true. All traffic slows when going past the Racer Cafe, and this is what they see – an outpouring of love and concern.
