Good evening! Partly cloudy and 47 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Today wasn’t a bad day, busy but reasonable. Got dark and cloudy for a while then nice around dusk 🌆 . Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 2 am. ☃️

I worked until seven o’clock today and then had to wait for the seven thirty bus home. 🚍 The bus was right on time and honestly I didn’t get out of the office right at seven o’clock and took a short stroll around West Capitol Park.

Cooked up some hot dogs in the microwave ♨ put on some ketchup and sat them in a bin with cheese and hot sauce. I then went for my evening walk. Not a half bad evening, I’m feeling a lot better today than yesterday. Peepers are out singing 🎶 their songs. 🐸

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 36 degrees at 5am. One degree above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 11th. Northwest wind 6 to 10 mph.

I am definitely looking forward to nicer weather come the autumn and spending more time in the wilderness. ⛺ Those days will be upon us before you know it. May really is only three weeks away. I may not get away camping Easter Weekend but I expect the weather will improve before you know it.

That Moss Island trip I’m thinking about taking this spring 🌸 sounds like a lot of fun during early to mid May. I always have liked that part of the Mohawk Valley.

I think I’m going to try twice daily, shorter blog posts again 📝although that will very from day to day.
