| A warm evening to enjoy Marine Park in Bellingham, WA. |
This week we are well into spring and summer is approaching. Time seems to pass both slowly and extremely fast. Have you been experiencing that sensation?
 |
| A sign of the times. |
There was a new sign as we entered the grassy field. We set up our chairs with a good view of Bellingham Bay where a huge fishing boat was waiting to enter the harbour to unload its catch.
Several groups came to the park while we were there, but with lot of space distancing was easy. Unfortunately, a few passed a bit too close for comfort, but they kept moving.
 |
| Flowers in bloom kept the bees busy. |
After an hour enjoying the view and quiet, we heard the whistle of an approaching train. Tracks run between the edge of the park and the bluffs rising from Bellingham Bay.
It was a Burlington Northern BNSF freight train heading south from Canada with a mixed load including telephone poles, boxcars, containers, tankers and ore cars. There were bundles of milled lumber with the Western Forest Products emblem, possibly from our Powell River.

| The Burrito King food truck is a welcome addition to our community. |
On the way home we decided to go out for dinner. Restaurants are now allowed to have dine-in to 50% capacity. We opted for burritos at the new Burrito King food truck that is parked at Bakerview Road and Eliza Avenue. They've added picnic tables so I hope they are here to stay.
What have you been doing as stay home orders are being relaxed? -- Margy
We really haven't changed anything much. We order in food from local restaurants. Well, 'order in!' we pick it up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty area. I love that burrito food truck, it will probably do plenty of business in that area.
ReplyDelete...no burritos today, but my roommate of 52 years and I had a date today. I drove us in the '50 Ford coupe to a local burger joint for curbside pickup. Ain't life grand?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice area to walk and explore
ReplyDeleteLovely wild roses attracting bees :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a different year. Just have to take care and adjust to whatever is coming up.
Wonderful photos! Thank you and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteSo you are still in Bellingham eh? When can you cross the border and home?
ReplyDeleteIn answer to you Historic barn question: When the county this being Skagit County choose a barn I thin some criteria has been follower and the owners are given a grant---some repair the barn to brand new status and others don't. I have seen a couple of Heritage barns that have been torn down.

Margy, Nice set up at the food truck! Love the roses. Have a great week! Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a perfect date night to me! (Actually it’s sort of like every dinner time at our house these days, except without the view. after spending most hours of the days together, talking over the news of the day, sharing phone and texts from the family etc etc , often cooking dinner together, by the time we eat our evening meal, we usually do it while reading on our Kindles . I’m not sure I’d even know how to behave at a sit down restaurant any more ;])).
ReplyDeleteWonderful trip into the nature sounds to me. Bellingham? I have to search on the map... enjoy your Summertime there.
ReplyDeleteHappy MosaicMonday
What an interesting date night you enjoyed, such a peaceful place to sit and read and watch the world go by. The food truck looks like a great place to stop for a bite, how kind of them to provide seating for their customers too. We enjoyed one of the UK's favourite take away meals on Friday evening, good old fish & chips, delicious.

Nature trip is fun and refreshing. I like the idea of eat out in the open.
ReplyDeleteThe picnic tables are such a great way to add seating to the restaurants. You sure live in a beautiful part of the country!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful... and I would willingly get a burrito too! ;)
ReplyDeleteFood trucks are the best and this looks like a restful place to eat as well.
