Rain Possible, Adoptable Kittens and a Hike in the Woods

Good morning! Here’s a look at what’s happening along the north shore on Thursday.

- Click here to see what new homes came on the market recently in the area.

- LI Kitties is offering two kittens for one, and $20 off the adoption fee of an adult cat.

- Where is the best place to go back to school shopping? How much do you typically spend? Join the conversation here.

- Plan a walk outside for once the weather breaks: The Edward J. and Dorothy C. Kempf Preserve, run by the Nature Conservancy, is comprised of two trails in Wading River. We took a walk there recently. Check out the photos.

- Bail for Thomas Costa, the 31-year-old man charged in a fatal hit-and-run, was set at $150,000 cash or $300,000 bond this week. The family of the victim, Karen Benjamin, is working to up the charges on Costa; stay tuned for a story on that later on today.
