Mrs.J

Last night on Chincoteague for a much needed mental health break. Rented a house on the Bay on the Northern end of the island. Have enjoyed some nice warm weather. Some beautiful sunsets and skies on fire. Finished off the week with a brought in shellfish feast of which there was nothing left.

Out vacationing on Chincoteague this week. Thanks to online schooling we can do a get away in October. And renting a house to stay distanced. After the fog burned off around noon turned into a an absolutely beautiful day for October 20th. Headed out to the beach around 3. Never thought it would be near 70 on Assateague. The Miss J's were wading in the ocean and we took a nice long walk up the beach. Thought we were going to get a nice sunset but the marine layer rolled on in. We are on the bay side up the neck.

So I am late to the game and have never done this before. But besides my love of cooking I also have a piece of paper that says I can charge more for my art. The youngest Miss J asked me to do Inktober with her this year. First day prompt was Fish.

Sun back out over here. 78/76 it really did not cool off at all after all the rain. Currently sitting at .46".

I can say my area while currently under rain missed out on the super big stuff.

81/76 here with thunder. My area seems to be in a dry slot for now. Opened the back door and OMG so muggy.

That Tornado warned storm is to my East. Storm coming over from VA to my west is warned.

It would be nice to get at least a decent storm. Would help me justify the stabbing eye ball pain I had all day yesterday from pressure in my head.

Had a quick passing shower sun starting to come back now.

Completely covered in thick clouds over here now. No sun coming through.

77/74 here with sun powering through the cloud deck. Tropical feeling out.

Had a cell go up to my north came through here with blowing rain and some thunder and lightning. Got .22" in about 5 min as it moved out pretty quick to my south.

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.

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.

Ok who turned on the humidity tap. Only 80 out and sweat was running down my back. Better get some rain out of this.

I watched that line coming in last night on a live feed on FB. Impressive!

Yep went through something similar myself. Had a lumpectomy and reduction all in one go. Had to do it that way really as after radiation no breast surgeon would touch the radiated side. Glad to here you mom is strong and got through it. And hoping for a speedy recovery.

Just finished watching Mr Tornado. If you did not get a chance to see it you should. Very fascinating and the older Miss J said so.

We just got an email this morning about pool opening date. They are shooting for June 13th. Apparently Frederick Co. came out yesterday and it passed inspection but our community is waiting on the MD state restrictions to be lifted. About a month ago the pool company reached out to our neighborhood looking for kids who were certified for Lifeguarding. They want to staff with as many community kids as possible. And help with summer jobs. So sounds like they have enough lifeguards on staff if there is a projected opening date.
