death did not divide them

I went to Lake View Cemetery yesterday with
zabira. We had a fantastic time and I had to document some of the more interesting tombstones we came across. We did not seek out Bruce and Brandon Lee's grave sites, but perhaps another time I will go look for them. We did run across Denise Levertov's grave quite by accident, though. Believe it or not, despite living less than a mile from this cemetery and having lived in Seattle for 16 years, I'd never been inside it. There were many touching memorials the living had left for those who had died before them.
If you click on the picture, it will take you to more pics from the cemetery.

chihauhau!

I posted a bunch of new pictures on Flickr. This is a detail from a bag a friend of mine made for my niece. I thought
cubangenius would like it in particular :D. There are also scintillating pictures of our oven and a bunch of flowers. Click on the pic to get to the flickr.

Just thought I'd post, 'cause. And in case you think I'm a mere whisper of a hint from unsticking my toes from the floor, you are sorely mistaken. :D

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on his post, if you have any. Which I am sure you do. :D

Any ideas? We saw this when we went for a walk this afternoon.
I've upped my cap to $200, and doubled my per-post contribution: 25 cents per unique commenter to my local library, and 25 cents per unique commenter to Books for Africa. The comment period is open until midnight on March 28th.
So, go leave a comment! :D
ETA: Also, consider turning off your lights for an hour tonight at 8:30 p.m.. Burning candles isn't bad for the environment, right? ;-)

1 - the Mexican hat dance song (is that the same as La Cucaracha?)
2 - the song from The Cat in the Hat
3 - the song "You can leave your hat on" that was featured in The Full Monty
Any others?

Took some snaps of flowers and whatnots last weekend in the arboretum. You can see a few more if you click on this one :D.
Not much else to report, except that it has started raining again here, which means I have turned into a withered, bitter turnip. Expect sweet peas in June or possibly July.
YouTube - Young at Heart chorus sings Road to Nowhere
We watched the documentary about this chorus - like none you've ever experienced.

We took a walk down to the Arboretum this morning. The number of ducks we saw was incredible! If you click on this picture it will take you to the set, although many of the ducks were eluding the camera. We saw: mallards, wigeons, hooded mergansers, buffleheads, gadwalls, ring necked ducks, green winged teals, Canadian geese, pied-bill grebes, a hummingbird, kinglets, a great blue heron, and a raptor that was too far away to identify!
