Good morning! Happy Thursday. Sunny and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. Chilly start to the morning. Should be a nice day until it clouds up. I’m going for my morning walk 🚶 shortly.

I will have to decide if this will change my weekend plans. ⛺ It’s not a big deal to change at this point especially when I’m working from home. But I’ll have to change my shopping menu if I do decide to go camping. I’ll have to think about it more.

One month 📅 from now will be Fathers Day 👨 when the sun will be setting at 8:34 pm with dusk at 9:09 pm.
