I really tried to jam as much as possible in my Saturday as possible walking 9.8 miles, tabling for six hours, getting soaked and my camera lens fogged over for a hike off the Madison Avenue and then working about four hours as things have been super busy yesterday with work with the legislative session wrapping up.
Good morning! Happy Sunday. Partly cloudy and 52 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 47 degrees. The skies will clear around 11 am.
I’m finally out walking 🚶 at 8:30 this morning. Heading out to Meads Lane 🐮 and ultimately Five Rivers Environmental Education Center 🐦 come mid morning. Oatmeal and banana 🍌 pancakes 🥞 topped with blueberries which I’ve been delaying too long as they are so good. Blueberries do kind of spike your blood sugar but it’s fine.
Today will start out cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny ☁, with a high of 72 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 19th. Maximum dew point of 50 at 1pm. Northwest wind 9 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It was very sticky. The high last year was 91 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1941. There was a dusting of snow in 1895.❄
I figure the first stop is going to be Van Dyke Preserve 🐸 then maybe I’ll head over to Five Rivers to poke around there for a while. The home for lunch. 🍲 Cooked a lot of cranberry beans up and plan to have them over the coming days with rice, the hot peppers I bought yesterday and other meals. 🍴Maybe over done that jalapeño pepper 🌶️yesterday with the salmon and rice and kale but it was good. 🐠 Then out to the folks house 🏡 for Sunday dinner. Maybe after which I’ll hike Bennett Hill before heading home and bed. 🛏

Three day session this week, 🏢 then two casual dress days at work. Could be another busy working weekend, but now the weekend forecast doesn’t look great. I’m thinking if there is one nice night during the long weekend it would be good to hammock camp ⛺ in the woods and then maybe visit John Wolcott another day. Finally got the spokes in for my bike 🚲 so I’m hopeful if the install goes well I’ll be close to getting it back on the road soon. Maybe if all goes well I will be able to ride my bicycle to my physical 🧑⚕️a week from Tuesday.
