Two weeks out to Election Day πŸ—³οΈ

Having some coffee, taking down camp, watching the sun rise over Lost Ponds. A very mild October morning for sure, going to be a nice day.

It’s a remote work πŸ’» day, and I plan to spend the balance of this beautiful day working down at the shore of Glimmerglass. Going to be in the seventies later on. My hope is to find some time for a quick paddle on Otsego Lake πŸ›Ά, head home and finalize any outstanding label πŸ”– jobs down at the library tonight. Tomorrow it’s back at the office in Menands and downtown meetings.

It’s funny how fast a three night camping πŸ•οΈ weekend goes but some of it has to do with the work never stops and the days are so dark and short this time of year. Really you don’t have much sun until almost eight o’clock and by the five o’clock hour it’s obvious that night is approaching. Still it was nice to get away when there is a bit of color left on the trees. 🍁
