Yesterday, on my way home...

I took forever in the lab yesterday. I forgot that when you're working with someone else, things might not be in the exact order you left them, and had to re-do an experiment.

Anyhow. As I was driving down I5, past Mt Vernon, in the Skagit Valley, home of the Tulip Festival (I wonder if it's happening this year), I noticed a field to the West covered in white.

Birds. Snowgeese.

Got off at the next exit and doubled back on the frontage road.

I only had my phone, so the photos aren't great.

After I'd been there a few minutes, some Prowlers from the Whidbey Island Naval Base flew overhead and a good portion of the flock of birds flew up, in an incredible noise of wings and honking, and settled back down 50 meters to the south. Whatever, birds.

I don't quite know how to embed video, but here's a link to one of the ones I took: A bit further to the south....

And now AC...

AC got her first dose today too.

She's a phlebotomist, and joined the King County Health Corps or something like that, and works at the Cancer Research Institute, so eh, I'm not surprised.

So now it's me, dh, and my 78 yo aunt, who is in Canada, who are not yet vaccinated.
