I have driven by this house a couple of times over the past month. Each time I have noticed the same doll set up by the window. It's just as creepy to me as the other house with the hundreds of dolls. I am wondering if the owners of the two houses saw each other's places, if they would feel a bond of some sort.
What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be snow.
Apologies to Dinah Washington
Spring in Seattle. March, 28th 2008 1:40PM. Snow on the plum tree blossoms and grass. Very odd and kind of scary...global warming and all.
Photographs have been removed out of compassion for the man who lives there.
So I was driving around looking for some cool fences I saw from the bus recently and decided to cruise by the creepy doll house. It appears he has rearranged them somewhat. Everything I've heard about the guy is what other people have told me...Someone said that someone told them they had seen the man standing in his window looking out while wearing a silver speedo. Someone else said he wears the same clothes all the time and that he is grumpy. Today someone I met said they had been on the inside of the house. They walked up with a friend and just knocked on the door. They were invited in to see his train that goes around in the house. When they asked him about the dolls he became a little odd and started talking about his very first one. At Christmas time he does a huge lighted scene in his front yard, apparently it's quite something. Anyway this person I was talking to was thinking the inside of his house and the story behind the dolls would somehow be enchanting but it was creepy instead. She also said that he changes the dolls outfits with the seasons. I wonder what they will look like in the fall?
This has to be the best chain link fence ever, can you see it? My point exactly. It's also my very favorite garden and today I had the pleasure of meeting the creator and occupant. She is every bit as delightful as her garden.
A fence I like very much, and a sign I find to be confusing.
Hat n Boots. The boots have been restored and placed in a Georgetown park. The frame for the Cowboy Hat is there too and I am hoping it will be restored as well. They are an old Seattle landmark that was originally from a Texaco Station in 1954. http://www.hatnboots.org/
The artch (my name for it because it is art and an arch) is just something fun. I asked the neighbor if the occupant was an artist and he said,"Oh he's an artist alright ".
The mail box has been adorned with the skeleton for at least a year. It's creepy and funny to me. The rest of the property is otherwise completely average in every way.
