Good Morning! Things were a bit cloudy waking up here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. It’s not the warmest with temperatures sitting at8.5 C | 47.3 F. It will however warm up and the sun should make an appearance shortly. Highway 522 is quiet as it should be being so early in the morning. The black-flies are still with us, but everyday we see less. Usually they are here from Mothers Day to Fathers Day. The mosquitoes on the other hand are annoying, but if we get some sunshine it will help eliminate a lot of them too. And with the Dragon Flies here now they will help too. On another note my vegetable gardens are starting to take shape, and yesterday we had our first fresh lettuce for supper. That’s nice for sure. This year we planted all different kinds so that we can try something different from time to time. Actually I even planted a half a row of spice lettuce. LOL I am not sure what that will taste like, but we will see in a couple days as it is almost ready to eat. My tomatoes are also looking good, it was touch and go there for a wee bit. Being so cold when I planted them slowed them down some. But they are okay now. Today I will do some things around the house here, maybe work on a story or two for my columns. Then if the sunshine comes out I will venture out to the front porch with my lovely wife, and see how our rocking chairs are holding up. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will let the day unfold around me. Take care … and stay safe. GW
