Spring Seems Happy and Carefree

North Wildwood Beach - Summertime - Less Worrisome Times

Mornin'!  It's 46° in Wildwood NJ.  The blog's on the late side due to senior citizen 7am shopping at the grocery store.  The seniors have the opening hour as per the State mandate set in motion due to the Corona virus.  It was actually okay as it was relatively quiet as everyone was courteous and kept that ol' distance.  Lots had gloves and maskes on.  I wore hospital gloves as well.  I'm now back to total isolation after unpacking and wiping and washing all the groceries.  Sitting inside may not last that long though... it's a stunner outside.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly and warming this enclosed front porch of mine and it feels warm and soothing.  The birds are everywhere and loudly displaying their Spring pleasure.  There's hardly a breeze.   I can smell daffodils and hyacinths in the sea air today!  I'm thinking a nice walk today before all this loveliness checks out. Wildwood's beach and boardwalk are still open and on days like today virus or not, my bets are on folks like me who are here down the shore taking full advantage with walking and biking and keeping the spirit alive. Why wouldn't you?  Some of the boardwalks and beaches are closed in North Jersey. We're still good to go here.  New Jersey now has over 4400 cases of the virus with 62 deaths.  There are currently 9 cases in Cape May County (my neck of the woods).
In regard to the weather... a beauty with plentiful sunshine, temps in the low-mid 50s with 5-10mph N-NW breezes shifting from the South after lunchtime.  Tonight... clouds begin to roll in about 8-9 o'clock with showers late (50% chance).  Temps will drop to where they are now... mid 40s with winds ramping up a bit out of the S-SW at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... waking to rain showers but we'll definitely seek peeks of sunshine by the afternoon through those wispy clouds.  The weekend's still looking crapola with rain forecasted for both days.
