Morning Chat June 18/2021

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We also can expect some rain this morning. But later on in the day things start to clear and tomorrow we will be back to sunshine. We are having some thunder and lightning at the moment. We do need it, as things are pretty dry, even after the rain we had a few days ago. The good part is I won’t have to water my vegetable gardens today. Talking about the vegetable garden, things are sure growing these days. My potatoes and tomatoes along with lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, squash and others, are sure showing off. I can’t wait till we see some tomatoes, as there is nothing like fresh homegrown tomato sandwiches. The tomatoes in the stores these days have no taste what’s so ever. My lettuce though is about ready to pick, so once the rain eases off, I will pick a nice salad for supper. My wife is going to make me a turkey supper with all the trimmings for Father’s Day. I have to admit, I sure enjoy turkey. I also enjoy her homemade dressing, it’s the best. I haven’t tasted any as good as hers in over 70 some years. She has a special recipe that makes my mouth water when cooking. The black flies are all but gone these days. The mosquitoes aren’t all that bad, neither. The deer flies are there but not so bad neither, which is nice as my wife and I have been major busy as we had 4 monster pine trees that had to be taken down. We did take one down by the house here a few weeks ago, but there were others too. I figured while I am feeling good, I should get at it. But it was a lot of work let me tell you, and after yesterday my wife and I are not moving too fast this morning. So a rest is in order for a couple of days, and then we will get into splitting all the logs pieces. Some are so large the both of us can hardly roll them. I suspect after we split them, we should have around five cords. I don’t burn them in our house furnace, but I do burn them in my shop stove, and all the smaller pieces are going to be good for camp fires for our guests and family members when they come to visit. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. We are having a real down pour at the moment and it’s so dark we have the lights on. The lighting is sure showing off too. Take care and stay safe. GW
