Good morning! Monday’s come back around again.

I have today off and could have stayed in bed 🛏 but I was up and going and decided to head into the office. 🏢 I figured that way it would be easier to get my steps in and it’s not a real nice day.

Sunny and 34 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌞 Calm wind.

Maybe I should have taken today off, it’s a nice morning 😎 but I don’t know how long the sun will last. And I would rather use the day off some point in the future for a real long-weekend in the Adirondacks. While I can’t head out of town next week due to that family obligation, I am really hoping to take off April 29th, although that might be difficult depending on the work load. It might be a very busy time around the office.

Last night I walked up Blodgett Hill, 🚶‍♀️ which was legally closed due to the trail being used for logging equipment, 🌲 but I figured it didn’t matter as nobody would be logging at 7 PM on Easter Sunday. Saw a Great Blue Heron up there and a Hermit Thrush I think in the bush and a Robin. Looks like they are doing some clearing of White Pine near the Pitch Pine and on the more densely part on the other side of the hill.

Always a nice hike, good vigorous climb 💪 to the top but not that difficult with the road they built to allow for controlled burns. Maybe more views when they get done with the cut on the other side, did not fully explore it over there as I figured it would be a mess with the recent tree cutting, and time was a bit tight with the setting sun. 🌆
