Good Morning! Starting things off here in Port Loring, Ontario we are seeing some sunshine. We will see some clouds entering into the picture later on, with some light showers in the latter part of the day and into the night. It was a bit cool getting up with the temperature sitting at 3.5 C | 38.3 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. Highway 522 is bare and dry which is to be expected this time of year. On another note my wife and I did get some work done outside yesterday, and today we will continue on. With that I am off for some pancakes with an egg on top that my lovely wife is preparing, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s another sunny day here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a touch cool getting out of bed with the temperature sitting at 0.8 C | 33.44 F. A touch above freezing. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward, and the sun should remain with us all day. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning making travelling good. That is if you have to go anywhere. We didn’t have any frost overnight. Things have been greening up a lot these days with my lawn looking better every day. Nice to see. Pretty soon the Dandelions will be among us, and I hope everyone digs a couple from time to time and makes a cup of tea. Can’t beat that to get the old immune system up to par. Just make sure you dig them in a good area that isn’t contaminated. Yesterday my wife and I worked outside all day, moving some lumber into another area, that we are going to use to build our outside shower house. Now I have room for our boat, which we uncovered yesterday as the tarp I had covering it was leaking, and the water was getting into it. Today once it dries out I will put it under the car port for the summer. It needs a good cleaning at the moment. Which I will get to in the coming days. With that I am of off for my morning bowl of cereal with my lovely wife, and will then head on off outside to enjoy the nice weather. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning for a change here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a bit cool though with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -1.9 C | 28.58 F. Things will warm up as the day moves forward. After today, a lot of warmer weather will enter into the picture, and we should see our highs reaching 17C/64F nearing the end of the week. Which will sure make it nice for being outside. Yesterday I didn’t do too much outside, but my lovely wife did finish up the raking out back of our house. Things are looking pretty good around the place now, and will continue to get nicer once the plants start to grow, and the grass starts to turn green, along with the leaves on the trees. Can’t wait. Through the night we did have some more frost which is rapidly melting with the sun that is upon us. Pretty well all our snow has left us, other than a bit that is left at the end of my driveway by my woodworking shop, where it was pushed into a pile throughout the winter. But it will be gone by the middle of the week I am sure. Highway 522 is bare and dry. Today I will do some outside work getting things ready to build our shower house for the cottage. Going to take a lot of work, but a little at a time things get done. And as I said before we would like to get a lot of the hard work done before the Black Flies enter into the picture, along with the mosquitoes. We will see how that goes. We are still lighting our wood furnace every morning with it being so cold, but I suspect that will come to an end shortly. On another note the Snow Drops a little white flower is blooming in our gardens showing off. I have to admit they are sure nice to see every spring. They don’t last too long. Lots of new birds are also coming back to our area, like the Robbins, Crows, Geese, Ducks and Seagulls. Every day a few more enter into the picture. Which my wife and I enjoy. Soon their offspring’s will be brought around for us to see as they seem to do that every year. With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. I have always said that you can make plans but never plan the results. Take care and stay safe this virus is getting much worse these days here in Ontario.

Ontario is reporting another 3,009 COVID-19 cases yesterday and 16 more deaths.
