Good Morning! Sorry for not being here in my Blog lately, still been feeling poorly. I feel good one day and not so good the next day. As I say, it’s nothing to do with the virus, just an old body with a few parts wearing out I guess. I am hoping it gets better sooner than later. But I am working on it, I don’t give up on things. Anyway, on to more pleasant things.

It was cloudy this morning early, but I do see some clear skies on the horizon, which should warm things up a bit as it has been cool for the past day or so. And windy. Fishing isn’t the greatest as yet. The black flies however have all but left, which is okay with me. The mosquitoes are with us, but not so bad. I think this cool weather slowed them down some. The dragon flies are around, they clean most of the blackflies and mosquitoes up. It’s nice to see them. But the birds also like them blood sucking parasites, as they are none stop eating them in our yard.

Highway 522 is picking up with cars, trucks and campers these days. Nice to see folks moving around enjoying life. It’s too bad more doesn’t take advantage of these things, as life is short. I have always said make the most of each day doing what you want and like. On another note, my vegetable garden is really growing. My garlic this year has never been better. My potatoes are showing a lot of leaves and our lettuce is about ready to eat. Our tomatoes are getting up to size, but still has a lot of growing to do before we have any to eat. We also have a some corn showing above ground, which should be tasty later on. I also have some pumpkins which can grow and weight up to 50 – 100 pounds. They are some ancient seeds that my grandfather had put away over a hundred years. I found them while looking through some old boxes and decided to plant them. With in one week they were sprouting. I made a special area for them out back of our house, so we will see how they work out. Hard to say being so old. But nature is sure amazing, let me tell you.

With that my friends, I am off for a bowl of cereal, that my lovely wife is preparing for me. I will then rest for a bit, then see if I can do something outside. We have an old deck on the front of our house needing repair. Something like I need you could say. I just have to be very careful these days. Anyway take care and stay safe, this virus is still there, not as bad, but it still can make certain people very sick. GW
