Hectic morning.
Head off in one direction for a checkup and then dash waaayy across town(s) for a blood draw. Even though I had two opportunities today, I'm not terribly pleased with the results(although I do like the smeariness of this one).
Regardless, my doctor's office parking lot photo series streak remains unbroken!
*shrug* Better luck next time.
Ebey Island (an area of farmland and wildlife east of Everett), as well as the Three Rivers Mobile Park West of Monroe are being evacuated due to predicted flooding of the Snohomish River. There are already half a dozen or so road closures 😰
(For those not familiar with the area, State Route 2 is a trestle, thus not likely to be affected in spite of being directly on top of the evacuated area).
Oh. And to wrap up the day, we spun the wheel and randomly ended up at a wonderful, new(for us) Szechuan restaurant where I had the most cumin-iest lamb dish that numbed my mouth and almost overwhelmed me.
I had no idea that cumin was capable of doing that! Highly recommend!
It was a day of nice, little discoveries. Days like this are keepers.
A couple of concrete wall and branch texture photos I took this afternoon while waiting outside a doctor's office.
