Well this Christmas Past we had our old Cactus produce some flowers. Just in time for Christmas too. So I thought I would share a picture or two with you. If you are a high tech person, another name for it is Schlumbergera. Myself I prefer Cactus, as I have always always said, if you can’t pronounce a word, don’t use it. GW
Well it is nice to report that it isn’t as cold this morning with temperatures hovering around -8 C | 17.6 F But on the down side it is snowing with wind making things quite miserable. I am happy that my lovely wife and I went to North Bay yesterday as today the roads don’t look good at all. Yesterday the roads were great,, bare and dry. Actually the sun was shinning for most the day which made our day out quite enjoyable. I have to say though North Bay was a zoo. You could hardly move for people and cars. I have to admit North Bay is growing up. Lots of stores and new ones opening all the time. If they get the Casino built it will make it just that much nicer. Oh I know some say it isn’t such a good idea building it, as it will take money away from those that have a hard time controlling their urges. Well truth be known, folks have to deal with these problems, if it is a problem, and move on. Least that is my opinion on the subject. Snowplow just went by heading East on Highway 522. So roads should be clear for a few minutes. It is snowing pretty good at the moment, but things are suppose to warm up. We will see. Have a good day! GW
Ontario’s Wiarton Willie emerged from its den at 8:07 a.m. With hopes of an early spring it wasn’t to be, as Willie saw his shadow this morning, meaning no early spring for us. Well what can you do. Maybe he miss calculated. One can only hope. GW
