93/66 with a Dew of 80. Feels like 113. Severe Thunderstorm Watch and Flood Watch. Seeing all the stuff pop to my S and E and guessing this may be yet another day of being under watches and not seeing a drop. Got back from what we thought would be a beat the humidity at the barn this morning. No such luck. I don’t even know why I took a shower this morning. All I could keep thinking is only about 12 more hours of this and then will be bowing down to the Canadian’s for pushing their cool air in.

86/74/77 Went out on the deck to water the container plants and came back in all sweaty. Am counting down the hours for that cooler dryer air to come in tomorrow evening.

Just rolled into the barn down in Aldie. Just in time for that blob pushing through here. Breeze feels good through the barn aisle.

So got a nice .36” out of that storm. But you know it is still so humid out when the windows are all steamed up. Looking out the back I can usually see the tree line in the dark. But the windows are so fogged over you cannot see anything.

Bullseye

Getting quite the ruckus off of that storm South of Point of Rocks.

Picked up .63” out of that. Decent downpour and cooled it off to 77. Had some good thunder and lightning as well. Power went out once but reset.

Cell just popped up out of nowhere. It is raining!

94/62/79 feels like 112. Have some clouds coming in. Grass over here in the past few days has decided to just stop. They keep cutting it and that has just taken anything it was holding on to away. Have also noticed along 270 and 340 several of the smaller tree types full yellow. 1.62 for the month.

The older and J’s first year in college, 3 years ago, she had to created a social media campaign about the life cycle of the lantern fly. It was to help people know what to look for and what to do when you see them. I forget what MD agency was running it. Anyways it was the first we had heard about them. Que last year and they were all over. The numbers have seemed to have gone down a bit this year from what we saw last year. Have heard that bats and praying mantises love them. So we have decided next year we are going to get some mantis eggs and spread them around.

79/74 with a dew of 70. Was out pulling weeds, only thing that is keeping green with our rain shut out here. Could feel the humidity but because it is partly cloudy the feels like temp is 82. Catio is still out with 2 out of 3 furballs enjoying it. Figured let them out as probably tomorrow it will be coming back inside.

Absoutly glorious out watering the plants this morning. 76/61. The younger Ms. J was dropped off yesterday for a camp helper for pony camp. She hit the jackpot with this nicer weather. May even put the Catio out for the furballs.

The difference coming into Frederick on 270. Sunny with scattered clouds. Meanwhile know what is just down South.

Decided to get home. Flooding starting on Clara Barton. 495 is slow but moving.

We are in NW. Moved our daughter into her apt today. Came out of the grocery store and it was pouring. Stopped her now but wondering how and when we want to head back to Frederick as that line is sitting right over the Beltway.

Mr J spent his HS years in SE GA. While loading up the last of stuff to move to the oldest Ms J’s apartment he replies “I thought I moved out of the armpit zone.”

Getting through NE Loudoun County out of MD was interesting this morning.

The older Ms J and I just geeked out over spider cloud to cloud lightning

I got under some back building from that Loudoun county storm. Picked up close to half an inch. Hope you finally get some up your way.

Ok so a cell just popped up right over me. Heard thunder and did not think anything of it. It is raining!

Just got split. We are catching the drizzle off of that storm that went into Loudoun county. But not enough to even register in my gauge.

Went out to take a look at our looks like it could rain but… Anyways can actually hear thunder off of that one to my NW. Besides that thunder it is absolutely still quiet out. No birds, no breeze.

And they are o’natural. She does not put anything on them. So you can literally just pick and eat if you want. She has 3 rows to wind through.

If this muggy weather has done any good it is for the blackberries. Got back just before the sun started peaking out. We were told pick as much as you want. And wow we did. There were some we could not get to unless we wanted to get into the thick of it.

Oh lovely. Myself and the two Ms. J’s are going to a friends house to pick Blackberries this morning. Guess my plan to get it done early was not the best planning. Will wait to shower when we get home.
