West Winsfield
That little village in very southern-most Herkimer County that I often drive through thinking, Charles Baker State Forest can't be that far away, and it's getting dark out and I need to set up camp.
Looking Down Towards Irish Hill
Berne is just beyond Irish Hill, and the windswept lands above the valley are Knox.

While parts of southern Dutchess County are quite urbanized, 🏙 the northern portion of the county is much more agricultural with dairies 🐮 and orchards. 🍏

At least for Saturday. But it’s March and the snow won’t last with things expected to reach into fifties by next week with a lot of sun ☀. And with the sunset 🌇 later in the evening with the time change the days will certainly feel longer even if the mornings will be somewhat darker.

Daily Update – March 10, 2022
Good morning! Happy Thursday.
🌹🌻🌼Only 10 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼
But first a snow 🌨 storm? Maybe though not a big one. We did get a few inches last night though.
Snow fog 🌫 and 26 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. There are 4 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out around 8 am. 🌡️
Day by day we are getting closer to spring. 🌸 But this morning certainly doesn’t feel particularly spring like. Quite foggy 🌁 to be exact. I think everybody was surprised by how much snow we got yesterday – a few inches. Then some point after my evening walk 🚶 it seems to have turned to ice and freezing rain. Although on top of the dusting of snow things aren’t that slick. Actually kind of pretty with all the snow on the trees.
With the snow last night 🌃 I was able to attend the meeting last night via Zoom from home 🏡 and actually take it along for me on my evening walk. 🚶 That said, with the heavy wet snow last night on the trees halfway through my walk the signal 📶 kept dropping out a bit. Then I hurried home, brushed the snow off my hair and participated in the the question and answer section of the meeting when I actually had to have my video 📹 camera on. Mobile 📱 phones are great especially when you have unlimited within reason data.
I’ve been quite happy 😊 with my decision to go with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 🥪 this week. It does really help to save money and time both preparing, cooking and eating lunch. I should do more sandwiches. Hot lunches are fine but they get kind of tiresome with all the prep work and cleaning up there after. Sandwiches just require a quick cleaning of the containers when done.
