Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning here, waking up in Port Loring, Ontario. However, even though it is sunny, it is down right cold. We have our furnace running at the moment. We also had a frost overnight, with the temperature getting down to 0.9 C | 33.62 F. It will warm up though as the day progresses, which will make it nice for doing some outside work. I am happy we didn’t plant our vegetable gardens yet. Highway 522 isn’t all that busy these days, but it will pick up on the weekend. Although it is calling for showers for Saturday and Sunday, which might make folks stay at home along with the gas prices being so high. We will see how it goes.

On another note, my wife and I cleaned out our chimney yesterday after burning a winters worth of wood. Wasn’t all that bad, but it is still a good thing to do. Now it is ready to go for this winter. Not that I even want to think about it yet. After that, I worked on finishing up my new spot I made for some pumpkins.

Today I have to take my car down to Kerry Booth’s Service Centre as it has a wheel bearing making a noise on the back, so he is going to replace that for us. Problem is finding out which one it is. Hard to tell if the noise is coming from the right rear or the left rear. But I am sure he will figure it out. He is a good mechanic.

And yes, the blackflies are still with us. But the mosquitoes haven’t arrived yet. Won’t be long, though.

With that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me and will then get to work. Stay safe. GW
