Mrs.J

Currently under a nice slow rain. Not a huge amount in the gauge, only 0.03" so far but at this point I will take it.

Could have joined you with some shrimp and grits and fried okra.

Just stepped out on the deck after seeing that there appears to be a haze in the field behind my house. That haze is almost like a fog as the humidity here is 87%. Gross out!

Ended up with .73” over here. And the wind was up from the storm that I was under and the one to my south pushing out north.

Well recipe change. We are out of milk and Mr. J wants to wait for our milk delivery tomorrow. Makes sense he likes to limit interactions out in the stores. So making Pork Souvlaki with Lebanese potato salad.

What are you making?

Going to be a Shrimp and Grits night. With extra special side of fried okra.

As a parent I watched the BOE meeting on the decision for FCPS. While there was a vote for all online learning, there are teachers who are volunteering to come into the buildings for very small face to face sessions. And from what I understand that is what most MD systems are doing. Special Ed, ELL, those without reliable internet and at risk youth will have the opportunity for in school time. Just had a questioner from my girls HS this week where one of the questions was asking if your child was considered for in school time if you felt comfortable with that. These are the behind the scenes decisions that are taking place. They are also going to have the buildings open as some teachers have asked to teach out of their classrooms. No one decision is a good one. But they are working as hard as they can to accommodate every student and option. One other interesting thing I learned from our BOE meeting was out of a district with 42,000 students the number of students who did not log in this past spring for various reasons was around 800. They have said they are working to identify those students and find out why they could not or chose not to log in. And if need be those students would be added to the list of small groups to bring in.

Ok so anyone else suffering sinus wise with this humid warm day after day weather we have had?

Did not last long. But watching that cell over Leesburg. It has got to be insane there. Have friends just south of Lovettsville just outside of the flash flood warning getting dumped on.

Ok so filled in pouring over here now.

I have storms all around me barely moving.

Sky over here tonight

Saw a view of it from in the city. You could see the blowout rolling through and debris coming in like a wave.

Going to keep my obs in this thread as we are not fully in the brunt of this storm over here, and don't want to get my obs in the way of more serious obs. Currently 1.02" IMBY station. Occasional light winds. Current other stats are 69/96/68 Pressure is 29.00 and falling.

Getting a lot of flashes off of those storms well to my North in PA down here in Frederick.

Yep it is. Dry over here all day. Still under the watch but really not expecting anything. All to the East today. Will turn on my Thunderstorm Pandora station and fade to sleep.

2.13" in my backyard currently. Still raining but not pouring. Flood warning just issued for my area in SW Frederick Co.

While not directly in my backyard. Spent the last two days helping our friends, where we board the younger Miss J’s pony. Put in fencing for a “Health and wellness” paddock, aka a dry lot. Glad we got the use of a post driver as the ground was hard as a rock.

Taking advantage of this beautiful day to help put in a new fence line for a dry lot for the ponies at the friends farm we board at. My friend got a hold of a post driver finally. Want to get it done before it turns nasty on Wednesday. It is much needed as the ponies are getting fat and not liking muzzles.

Heads up! Another new recipe dinner coming up tonight! Opa!!

Hope all is well! Glad to have you back. We saw them last night.

This old lady brain is just forgetting what day it is.

Love that it is so quick and easy. And no oven required in this nasty sauna.

Salsa verde chicken quesadilla with a sour beer.
