This afternoon brought thunderstorms repeatedly popping up and passing just to our south. We only got a little light rain, but this evening I was treated to a very vivid rainbow.

We were leaving a ball field close to sunset today and some cool iridescent clouds caught my eyes. I don’t notice them nearly as much in the summer as the winter, so it was nice to see them.

Weather wise today was a pretty interesting day. All day long there was a strong south easterly wind. Eventually towards evening the clouds broke up and the sun came out for a bit. We had a decent thunderstorm in the evening then a better one a couple of hours later.

We have had fast food twice in the past few weeks. At least what I think of as fast food. It was okay I guess but it made me realize how often we used to eat it and how expensive it’s become.

Here it is March 19th and after our mid 70s spring like day a broken line of thunderstorms was moving through the area in the evening. We were between cells so we got nothing more than some very light drizzle. We did get to see some lightning in the distant thunderstorm off to our south east and a red rainbow since it was just about at sunset.

We had a gift card so we tried mission BBQ out in Lancaster. It wasn’t terrible and it wasn’t great either. I could do without all the patriotic stuff.

I just never understood why the towns and municipalities felt the need to decide when trick or treat is. It’s just always puzzled me.

J.B. Dawsons in Lancaster has the best ribs that I have had around here. Other places have decent but inconstant ribs, but at this place they’re always just right.

One of the nice things about living here in Lancaster County is that there are small stands at some farms. There’s one just outside of Mount Joy that we tend to buy strawberries from and other stuff as it comes into season.

We just had our first rainbow of the year and it was a vivid double rainbow.

The theme for this summer seems to be double rainbows. Here is a picture of our fourth one of the year here in Mount Joy.

We had a pretty good thunderstorm this evening. As that moved away we had our third double rainbow of the year. It’s only been a little over a week since the last one.

Even though we really did not get much rain from it there was a thunderstorm in the right spot to our east that we had our second double rainbow of the year. It was also the second double rainbow in a week’s time here in Mount Joy.

When we were driving home we saw a double rainbow. This one was very vivid!

We had some heavy rain and then the sun came out while it was still raining. Of course I went to see if there ws a rainbow and there as a double rainbow.

We had an earthquake really close to home. I either got woken up or was awake when I heard a deep rumbling. I didn’t feel anything but sure enough I saw that there was a 3.3 agnitude quake centered just north of Mountville.

Tonight for supper were having chickek pot pie for supper. It’s not the kind you buy in the store but that Amish kind with the home made noodles.
