Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 50 degrees.

It is a very pleasant evening for late October. If I wasn’t tired 😴 I might sit out back. But I’m still adjusting to the earlier work hours and recover from that cold. It continues to look like after these mild days it will be bitterly cold but snow free for a while to start November. At some point I’ll need the heat on but at least one night left for sleeping with the windows open.

I went for my evening walk 🚶 and it’s not a bad night 🌃 despite the clouds ☁. Last night I saw a big rig 🚚 hauling silage and tonight the air smells like wonderfully fresh chopped silage 🌽. Yum 😋. Some happy cows there. 🐮 Rode the exercise bike for a while 🚲 and made pasta salad for dinner with lots of broccoli.
