  1. Trying to play baseball in wet conditions is misery. It honestly can be a little dangerous for hitters if the pitchers aren’t confident/experienced because wet baseballs are incredibly slippery. Misty/drizzly all day here with around 1.25” since Friday. Great weekend to make chicken stock, apricot jalapeño pepper jelly, and pickled jalapeños!
  2. 93-94 and 95-96 in Lewisburg were absolutely killer.
  3. I could do without the nor’easter backing up like it looks like it’ll do. Neighborhood Oktoberfest with a great live band was setting up to take place on a glorious late-September Saturday…just hoping the rain holds off until after 7:00 pm when the party ends!
  4. Don’t have any trees of heaven on your property? Those things love TOH (I think they might be part of their natural habitat).
  5. Good storm in Burke again. This one is training over me. Had two big CTG lightning strikes while hanging on the porch. First was less than 200 yards away. The other was about 1/4 mile away.
  6. Terrible call. Lots of rain and some really nice gusts, plus the best light show I’ve seen in ages. With a late-night bourbon in hand after being dragged to Thursday night HS football, it actually might have been worth the wait!
  7. If I’m in a watch then yeah…they’re just handing them out like trophies at a youth soccer tournament.
  8. AC on until October in this house.
  9. We’ve got a dog who likes to whizz on the grass rather than on bushes or our fence, so we’ve got those dead spots, as well. I plan to get at the lawn during the second or third weekend of September. It’ll be the first time I’ve really done anything to it in quite a few years, so we’ll see what happens.
  10. That makes sense. I agree that sod scratches that need for satisfaction, but I’d like to try to make it work with seeding it. Just need to keep the dog off of it!
