Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy Tuesday morning here in Ontario, Canada, and the temperature was sitting at -5.1 C | 22.82 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day progresses. And tomorrow it will be even warmer. Later on today we should see a bit of sunshine, and if my lovely wife and I can find a place out of the wind and snow, we might do some front porch sitting, which would be nice. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, but we did have around an inch of new snow overnight.

Yesterday I worked once again on my new Mystery / Sci-fi Novel, and today, hopefully, will do the same. You never know what a day might bring when it comes to writing. Some days the words flow with no effort at all, and other days it feels like you couldn’t string a sentence together to save your life. The main thing though is to keep writing. You know, I’ve also found that some days what I write seems to have no meaning at all. Then, when I go back over it, a day or so later, I see all kinds of good properties in it. Occasionally ‘another story is born.’ If there is one thing I have learned over the years, when it comes to writing: “Never discard anything you write, no matter how bad it seems.

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here, waking up. It is still a touch cool, with the temperature sitting at -3.1 C | 26.42 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those needing some things in the larger cities. Our snow hasn’t melted much with it being so cold, but it should start now with the warm weather starting to show itself. We didn’t have any new snow overnight, which is fine with me.

On another note, yesterday I did manage to get a full day working on my new Mystery Novel, and if things work out I will do the same today. We will see how that goes.

Other than that, not much else happening in and around our small town these days. It won’t be long though before the town folks wake up. Most in Port Loring are like the Groundhogs, they hibernate for the winter. Including my wife and I.
Have a great day and stay safe. GW

Good Morning!

It’s a cold morning here waking up. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -15.1 C | 4.82 F. In saying that it is sunny. It will warm up as the day moves forward. And starting tomorrow the temperatures will rise well above the freezing mark, which will get rid of some more of our snow. I would say we have about a foot left on the ground.

Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. We did have about an inch of new snow overnight. The sander rolled through a few times through the night. Lonesome old job for sure.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday on my new book, as I didn’t feel up to it. I will see how that goes today.

With that I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is preparing for me and will then see what the day has to offer. You never know.

Have a great day. GW

Good Morning!

It’s a cold morning waking up. The temperature dropped through the night and is sitting at -6.8 C | 19.76 F. The winds are light, coming in from the North West. It will remain cold for another day or so. We will also see some more snow at times throughout the day, which could make travelling difficult. Might be a good day to stay at home. It’s quite a change from yesterday, that’s for sure. But the rain and warmer temperatures we did have got rid of a lot of snow.

With the melting that took place, it will make things a bit hazardous for the snowmobiles, so care should be taken if you’re out and about, as the lakes and streams will soon become unsafe to travel on.

On another note, my wife and I drove our neighbour friend to Sundridge yesterday, so she could look after a few things.
She did well … my wife and I while waiting picked up a few things, and we drove back home.
Despite the weather, it was a fantastic day all around.

Today I will see what develops and go from there.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is preparing for me. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

What’s Happening On March 16/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up in Ontario, Canada. We are having a few flakes of snow coming down, but no new accumulations overnight. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning. The snow we were supposed to get, I am thinking, will be mostly rain starting tomorrow. Reason being the temperature will rise well above the freezing mark later on today. We will see how that turns out. As of now, I would say we still have a good foot or more still on the ground.

On a different note, yesterday I worked steadily on my new mystery novel, and will do so again today.
It will be the first of a series. I have to say it has been a bit challenging being that I am writing Fiction/Sci-fi instead of real life, but I am closing in on the ending.

After it is finished, I’ll see whether it can maintain interest.
Every writer holds his or her breath at this point.

Have a great day. GW


What’s Happening on March 15/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here in Ontario, Canada. It sure is nice to see the sunshine. However, it is cold outside, with the temperature sitting at -14.6 C | 5.72 F. Highway 522 is bare this morning, which will make travelling good. In saying that, we do have warnings up for our area, saying that a not so good winter storm is heading our way, starting tomorrow afternoon; and it will continue on until Saturday. It’s possible we could see over a foot of new snow. Kind of depends on which way the storm tracks. So, we will have to wait and see how things work out. I would think if anyone has to go to the big cities for anything, today would be the day.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much other than work away here in the house yesterday, and today I will be doing the same.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is putting together and will then see what develops for the remainder of the day. Stay safe! GW

What’s Happening On March 14/2023

It’s another cold morning here in Ontario, Canada. It appears that winter isn’t done with us yet. The night before last we had another 3 – 4 inches of snow and this morning we are having a bit more. Until the wind switches from the North, we won’t see much of a change. But as I said before, the warmer temperatures are lurking in the wing. The temperature waking up was sitting at -11.6 C | 11.12 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. With the transition of temperatures about to take place, there is a good chance that from Thursday to Saturday we will be seeing a lot more snow. Highway 522 is bare so far this morning, which will make travelling pretty good. For my wife and I we aren’t in need of anything, so we will be staying put. Which is a good thing, as by staying home, our chances of spending money decreases a bit. LOL

Yesterday, my wife and I had to clean out our driveway once again. I didn’t wake up my snowblower, as with the snow being so light we decided to clean it by hand, figuring it would give us some exercise. Which it did.

Today I will continue working away here on my computer.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is putting together for me. Stay safe. GW

What’s Happening On March 13/20223

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here in Ontario, Canada. We did have some more snow through the night. I would say around 2 inches. Highway 522 is partially snow covered, which will make travelling not so good. But it should melt off as the day moves forward. The temperature waking up was sitting at -8.5 C | 16.7 F. It will warm up a bit later on.

On another not, other than working away here on my new mystery novel, I haven’t done all that much. Felt kind of under the weather again yesterday, not sure what that is about. So will be taking it easy once again today.
Other than that, not much else going on in and around our small town.

Stay safe. GW

What’s Happening on March 12/2023

Florida Grapefruit are the Best! Forget the rest.

Good Morning!

Starting things off, it is another cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at-13.7 C | 7.34 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward, and we could see a few flakes of snow later on this afternoon. Being the nights have been so cold, the snow we do have hasn’t melted all that much through the day. In saying that, the warmer temperatures are lurking in the wing so speak, and it won’t be long before they make their grand entrance. It’s the way Nature teaches us humans patience. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which once again will make travelling good for those wanting to head on off the big cities or???

On another note, yesterday I worked away here on my new mystery novel I am putting together, and today will do the same. Things are rolling along in that department.

With that, I am off a Pumpernickel Bagel this morning with some good old peanut butter that my lovely wife is preparing for me. It’s good to have an assortment of different foods to eat.

First, though, we’ll have a Florida Grapefruit, which is in season right now.
But, they are becoming increasingly difficult to buy in supermarkets, since grocery companies are now purchasing them from Israel and places other than Florida.
It all comes down to money; they buy it cheap and feel they can earn more money.
To be honest, they lose money since the ones that aren’t from Florida are worthless with no flavour or juice at all.

It’s a pity what some of our businesses are doing these days.
Gouging the working man to death.
Yet, given enough rope, they will eventually hang themselves.
I should say, some will, others will cry the blues to our Powers That Be, asking for freebies, and regrettably, most will get it, since these so-called Powers That Be don’t want to rock the boat and lose some votes in the next election. Sign of the times. My Opinion Only, of Course.

Have a great day and stay safe. It pays to take extra precautions when out and about these days, as there is still a lot of sickness around.
