Distractions from the Chaos

Saturday, May 30th 2020

I woke up to loud thunder which lasted a good forty minutes. Thunderstorms don't happen often in WA, so it was a cozy surprise. I would like to call this, God's gift to me because I love thunderstorms so much.

We were in the mood to go on a short drive, so we drove over to Silverdale to have lunch at Moctezuma. The restaurants decor is really nice, and they have the tastiest shredded beef nachos and strawberry margaritas. 

Their salsa is so good and very addicting however, it is on the spicy/hot side. 

We really enjoy the food here. When it comes to Mexican restaurant chains, the food isn't good in our opinion. It's rarely authentic Mexican food however at Moctezuma the food is very tasty. We just don't get carne asada tacos here. We go to a taco shop for those where they are out of this world good!

You do get a large portion of the beef nachos though. Can't really finish them. 

After walking off our food at the mall (since it was raining) we decided to board the ferry towards Seattle.

But just as we were about to pay we got a notification on our phones stating the following....

So we got turned around and all ferries were docked. There were riots in Seattle. Such a horrible thing to happen. 

Although it was a bummer because we enjoy riding the ferry we also enjoyed the drive back home. All these evergreens make for a pretty drive.

Driving back across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Kind of weird seeing our side of the bridge empty.

It was a bit difficult to go to sleep because of what was happening in our country. Antifa was rioting in Seattle and even though the National Guard was there they were either unarmed or had rubber bullets. I don't believe they were arresting any rioters. How is it ok to allow destruction and violence in our country let alone in police presence. I believe that when a country has a corrupt administration there seems to be no law and order .... at least when it comes to those from the Left. It's definitely a sad time in our country. 

To distract ourselves with wholesome and beautiful things we visited a park close to home. 

It was another beautiful cloudy day. It was a cool day ... a light sweater and shorts kind of day, for the boys. I probably had a dress on. That's usually what I wear except in Winter. 

We like to watch the ducks and geese. They're cute.

The momma and pappa goose are very protective of their little ones. The pappa goose hissed at the boys a couple of times. 

I had never seen so many daffodils as you see here in Washington. They're everywhere. Such a pretty spot, isn't it?

I just realized that right in the center of the sky you can make out a creepy face. You can see a mouth, teeth, a nose and eye sockets. Ew!

Washington has very beautiful parks. And for me, a cloudy day makes it even more beautiful and interesting to photograph. 

Hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
