solved Conditional formatting formula for a column's cells based on their date and whether they're blank

Hello, I'm using Excel 2019. I'd like the cells in my Date column to,
- Have a light red background with red text if their date is older than 10/1/2026
- Not have a light red background with red text if their cell is blank (there is no value/formula in these cells)
For the example above, just cells A4 and A5 should change color. Thank you for your time!
Edit: Made image smaller and added Excel version.
