Good morning! Happy Tuesday. ☁️

It’s official the normal high is 50 and will be above that until November. It’s more clear then ever that the heat is done until then. Now just the wait until the green up, the drying of the mud and the black flies.

Cloudy, dark and 38 degrees in Delmar for the morning walk. ☁️ There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The rain is done and more sun is expected late.

The heavy rain ☔ held off until late and got my 7 1/2 miles of walking 🚶 in for the day yesterday which was good. I woke up early – that is 4:30 and then fell asleep until 6 when I started my walk. I can wait until it’s a bit warmer and I can sleep with my windows open. That said, I really need a night in the wilderness with a rip roaring fire 🔥 to sleep well.

I thought Monday was a good day ☺, getting out at five with the crappy bus driver not driving so I caught the express 🚏which was running a bit late but not a big deal. I bought some kale to add some more fiber to my diet which is good. Maybe I’ll use it with the eggs 🥚 this morning. I got eggs and milk 🥛 last night after walking for breakfast. I was in bed around eight 🛏 and asleep before nine 9⃣.
