observation

I have made the connection between sawdust in the planter outside my window and the lack of leaves outside my bedroom window now that spring has come. The Norway Maple lost its life to the work on the sewer line running to my building a couple months ago. Positives: year-round Space Needle view from bed, view of Lower Queen Anne and Dick's sign (actually reads as "icks" from my place). Negatives: one less tree in the world. Associated negatives include less privacy and arboreal beauty, less birds outside, and those who do come must resort to the utility pole.
