Good morning! Happy Flower Moon 🌕! Been so cold fewer flowers 🌷 then normal this time of year but still quite nice. Sunny and 51 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. A beautiful morning. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around morning. ☃️

Beautiful morning. ☺. Started my day with a nice walk 🚶 around the super block and then I’m planning to work outside most of the day. 💼 Maybe go down to the library books 📚 where I can work with the faster internet and upload new stuff to the site blog. 🌸

Feeling quite well now 💊 with the doxycycline doing its magic. Aches and soreness in my legs are mostly home not as tired 😴. Lyme disease sucks. Heck even my phone 📱 autocomplete knows that now. I was told that the reason I was so much more tired and sick from the doxycycline this time was the Lyme disease infection was recent and the disease was much more of a fight. Pretty good now but still a bit sore.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 63 degrees at 2pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 27th. Light northwest wind becoming west 6 to 11 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1930. 0.2 inches of snow fell back in 1967.❄

I’m thinking about going down to the Pepscanne Preserve 🐦 this afternoon if the weather is nice. I really enjoy seeing all the birds down there and sitting out by the river especially on such a beautiful day. Then get groceries at Aldi’s and gas. ⛽
