Good Morning! It’s another cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 2.4 C | 36.32 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is today. Actually we could see a few intermittent flurries this afternoon. We did have an inch or so of rain through the night which filled my rain barrel. I like to get it filled up around this time of year, so I have some nice soft rain water for my plants that we are going to put into the ground in a couple of weeks or so. Highway 522 is sort of quiet these days, but there are a few out-of- towner’s moving into the area. Even with the stay at home order in effect, there is still a lot of people travelling all over the place. I don’t understand peoples logic these days. Not much we can do about it, other than to stay vigilant, and always be on guard protecting ourselves and family when near someone we don’t know. Actually … even those we do know. LOL Pays to be safe. On another note, I didn’t do much outside yesterday, but I did write up a story for my newspaper columns. Today I will see if I can come up with another. With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops. Stay safe!

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 7.3 C | 45.14 F. If we are lucky we could see a wee bit of sunshine off and on throughout the day. For the long range forecast, here in Port Loring, things isn’t looking all that great, with lots of clouds and rain entering back into the picture for a few more days. On another note we are still burning firewood these days. I have been lighting the wood furnace every morning to take the dampness out of the house and basement. I haven’t been doing much work in my old woodworking shop, but we did manage to get out for a few hours on Tuesday getting things levelled for our new shower house for our cottage. It will make it nice for family and friends that want to come for a visit. Once things settle down a bit with this virus that is among us. I am also thinking we will be doing some mowing soon, with the way the grass is growing. In some places it is ready to mow now. And after that it won’t be long before we can plant our vegetable gardens. I can’t wait for them to get growing, so we can have fresh salads and things every day. Today I will be working inside being kind of cool, and wet. The cold wet dampness sure plays havoc with my sinuses and body these days. Sign of getting old I suppose. With that take care and stay safe. These new strains of the virus is sure taking its toll on the younger folks. The problem is … if they keep up these protests and things, along with not wearing a mask things will get a lot worse for them and others; The way this virus mutates is from lots of people congregating together. Just look at India what happened when they opened back up. Not a good thing to be doing in my eyes. Also, we should shut down all air travel till we get things under control with these vaccines. Anyways … have a good day, make it a good day. GW
