A great looking day getting out of bed. Temperatures were sitting at 12C/54F. It will warm up more, as the day moves forward. Seems summer is upon us. LOL. Today I have some shop work to do. Fixing up our old mill I made years ago. Seems time takes a toll on things. Nothing is nicer for me than to make something out of wood that most throws away. It’s nice to be outside not being bothered by bugs, weather, or ? With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and will let the day play out as it is planned. One just never knows. GW

Another really nice day shaping up for us here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The sun is shinning with hardly a cloud in the sky. Temperatures were a bit cool through the night which made it nice for sleeping. Today we will see lots of sunshine and it will continue throughout the week. I am thinking it will be the best week of the year and quite possible the last real nice week of the year. We will still get some nice weather just not as warm. I am happy I got my firewood in where it is warm and dry, along with my boat being put to bed for winter. I still have some gardens to till once I get my manure and leaves spread on top. Makes for a real nice garden next year. Not much traffic going by our house these days other than the locals. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will let the day unfold around me.

Great looking day shaping up for us in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is making an appearance as I type, with temperatures sitting at 10.3 C | 50.54 F. It will warm up considerably as the day moves forward. The whole week is looking good as well. Not too much traffic around town for the past couple days. Most folks have or is closing up their cottages for winter and the locals are getting prepared for what’s to come. In some ways I don’t mind, in others I do. Relating to the cold. Seems the old body doesn’t like it as much as it used to. But that is what a Furnace, be it wood, oil or propane is for. Just heat isn’t cheap in our area. Not complaining mind you. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife and a bite to eat. I then will see what mischief I can get into.

Temperatures waking up were sitting at 9.1 C | 48.38 F. Highway 522 is slow this morning, hardly a car going east or west. Sign of the time. The leaves are turning more in colour every day and in some areas already dropping. Today I am going to take it a bit easy.

Not so bad a morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is breaking through the clouds and temperatures aren’t that cold. It will warm up even more, as the day progresses. The warmth will continue right through next week with lots of sunshine. Now we’re talking.

It will warm up as the day moves forward. At moment, the sun hasn’t made an appearance, but we might see some later on. There is also a chance of some more rain throughout the day. It’s kind of a mixed day weather wise. Yesterday I worked on an old table I had in the back porch. Amazing what can take place with a bit of sanding, glue and some stain.

We should also see some sunshine today giving away tomorrow to more rain. But after that we should see a lot more sunshine. I had to turn the oil furnace on this morning to take the coolness out of the house. Feels good. Just I hate burning oil so early in the season. Not much you can do though. Yesterday we went to North Bay to purchase a few things, got home late in the day. Today I will finish up some painting around the house here and do some work in my shop.

One bunch came from Sweden. Another came from Poland. Nice to see them out and about enjoying life. Today I give it a 4-Star Rating out of 5 for seeing a few.

A bit of a change this morning for us here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It’s raining, a touch cool and breezy. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 11.2 C | 52.16 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Rain will continue till Thursday. Then more rain or a thunderstorm on Friday. Crazy weather for sure. On the good side of the coin we did get all our firewood in while it was nice and dry. Not that it matters, as my wood is stored outside under a lean-to which I built fifteen years ago. Best move I ever made. But hauling it around on wet grass isn’t fun and makes a mess. Yesterday and the day before was perfect weather for getting it done. Nice to see it all piled high and dry in the basement. Today I will do a bit more painting inside the house as my lovely wife would like one of our doors painted. Then I might write up a story or two if the light of ideas strikes me. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and a bite to eat, and will let the day unfold around me. Have a great day!

One again, it is a cool morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. This morning temperatures were sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. Tonight shouldn’t be as cold and the rest of the week should warm up. I did cover a few things in my vegetable garden last night, which was a good thing as we did have frost, but hardly any close to the ground. But I am glad I did, as I do have some plants that grow high in nature. Yesterday we started bringing in our firewood for winter and today should finish it. Makes me smile when it is all in piled high and dry. The main elements in life are: Water, Heat and Food. With them we can survive quite nicely. I have always made sure our cupboards were full come winter and enough fuel to keep us warm. Luckily so far water is not an issue, at least not in our area. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and then will let the day do what it is going to do. Have a great day!

Sign of the times I suppose. Yesterday I got a lot done around the place here, putting the old boat to bed for winter, cleaning up some gardens and also managed to almost finish painting the inside of the back porch. Now it is time to fix my old mower which I was planning on doing yesterday but didn’t get to it. Make plans but never plan the results. Then I guess we will be putting in firewood for winter.

Temperatures through the night were cool which made it nice for sleeping. This morning they are sitting at 10.8 C | 51.44 F. Not to bad. Yesterday I manged to mow the grass around our property and then in the afternoon went fishing with my fishing buddy Barry. It was a fantastic day on the water, and we did catch a few for supper. Mostly small mouth bass. I did miss netting a huge pike that got unhooked right up side of the boat. They are crafty let me tell you. You never want to think you have them for certain until they are in the boat. Today I have some repair work to do on my old mower and then will see what the day has in store. You never know.

Yesterday I managed to get my shop cleaned up. It was in dire need after all the things I have been doing through the summer. It will be nice to move around in there now come winter. Today I will work up my vegetable garden a bit and plant some lettuce. What I did have is all but gone now.

Not to bad, of a day waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. At the moment we are all clouds, but we should see some sunshine as the day progresses.

On another note my wife and I took a drive to North Bay yesterday for some supplies, and while there we met our son and had lunch with him. It’s always nice to see him. After that we picked up some items and groceries and arrived back home around 5:30 PM. Long day. You can say what you want, but going to North Bay from Port Loring when all said and done, the day is shot. Along the way we noticed the trees are turning colours.

Today I will do some work in my gardens, maybe plant a bit more lettuce as what I planted in the spring is about had it. But we still have lots of blackberries just starting and zucchini is producing leaps and bounds. Our small store has seen a steady stream of customers this summer, which keeps my wife busy.

Slow Times
7:00 PM-9:00 PM

Today will be a better day than yesterday for catching a few, but still not what it should be for this time of year. The winds are coming in from the South West, which is good. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good luck and Stay Safe.
