John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.

Good morning! Spring has come back aroundagain. Well maybe not for another 11 hours though it will feel spring like later. Don’t do stupid shit in the mean time. Clear and 24 degrees for the morning walk in Delmar. 🌅 There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️
Cold but clear start to the morning. 🌅 I was not impressed when the heat kicked on when I got up. I know it’s cold this morning but the thermostat can’t read the forecast. I still haven’t gotten the February bill yet for gas and electric, I’m thinking 💭 it was delayed because of the weather delaying the meter read but I’m curious about it and will have to check the website. I turned off the heat for hopefully the rest of the year. I like it cold but if it gets well below freezing I’ll have to turn it back up. Pretty morning being so clear with the sun rising. And soon it will be fairly warm out.
Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 53 degrees at 4pm. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 2nd. South wind 6 to 16 mph becoming west in the afternoon.

I don’t know about you but I look forward to the sunshine 🐸 and the April like weather. And knowing that we are like a week and a half from this being the normal weather. By the number of red winged black birds around its a sign of what is to come. No spring peepers but I know it won’t be that far in the future 🔮.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:04 pm with sun having an altitude of 47.2° from the due south horizon (-23.7° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 5.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:30 pm with the sun in the west (264°). 📸

Out for the evening walk 🚶 which will get me up to a little over 12 miles for the day and 22 for the weekend. That’s good I guess. It was tough tromping through the snow in the Pine Bush yesterday though by today who knows how much is left.

Washed my truck and stocked up my pantry for the week. Continuing to buy and eat healthier, 🍏 especially working to cut out processed foods and sugars. I actually bought two pounds of non organic tofu, something I’m a bit horrified about but I’m really looking to lower cost, healthy meats and substitutes. I’d love to work more rabbit into my diet but it’s an expensive boutique meat in America unless you hunt or raise them because adult children in America think they’re cute not dinner. Got some wild salmon too, and lots of spices to add to various foods boost flavor.

The darkest hour is at 1:04 am, followed by dawn at 6:34 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:02 am in the east (90°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds.

Tomorrow should be a good day to kick off calendar spring. 🌷 Mild relatively speaking. I don’t know if I’ll get home early enough tomorrow will the mothership meeting to go down to the park but the evening walk will be nice.

But warming up to start spring tomorrow. 🌸 Quite nice tomorrow, too bad I have to work in the office downtown 🏢 . Then rain for the second half of the week. I am thinking though after tonight, I may be able to turn off the heat. I am not sure what my gas and electric bill would be, but it’s been fairly cold, though I’ve kept the heat down but I’ve used the electric blanket quite a bit this past month, as it’s nice to at least be warm in bed. Regardless I expect my bill to drop next month, as the gas heat is done for the year.

I got out walking around 7 o’clock this morning, 🌅 which by my standards is pretty late. It was a nice morning but with the breeze picking up and clouds pushing in 🌥 its becoming more of a raw day.
So nothing really great to say about Saint Patrick’s Day though it looks like the rain won’t last into the evening. Then windy for the weekend. I bet the snow won’t be long in this world. I like those fifties in the day but not the lows in the evening which are probably too cold to turn the heat off for the season.

I better wear the green muzzle to work today, it being Saint Patrick’s Day. And remember, at least in cattle and sheep eating too much clover causes bloat.
Cloudy and dark around 33 degrees at 6:20 am for the morning walk in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. There are 3 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️
It’s a dark start to my Friday 🌃 but maybe it’s because it’s expected to rain this morning or maybe it’s because I got an early start this morning. Getting lighter as I walk 🚶, I didn’t turn on the porch light before leaving.
Not a real cold morning but I wouldn’t say it’s the nicest ever. The good news is the rain is expected to be tough on the snow, 🌧 and will hopefully send it packing for the weekend. And if that’s not enough, this weekend should be windy and sunny which should take a bite out of the snow. 😎 I’m just hoping I can start doing walks down to the park in the evening for additional steps.
