Good Morning!

It looks like things are shaping up to be one really nice Saturday here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning without hardly a cloud in the sky. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 13.7 C | 56.66 F. It will warm up nicely as the day moves forward. The winds are light, coming in from the SSW. Highway 522 is still quiet for this time of year, but it is picking up with more tourists coming into our area along with folks from the big cities opening up their cottages for summer.

The black flies have all but left us, but the mosquitoes are edging into our area and will continue to do so until it gets really warm. The Dragon Flies, though, are making short work of them as they eat them by the thousands. While I was working in my vegetable garden yesterday, they were cleaning them up around my head. The deer flies however are annoying to say the least. But that is the joy of living where we do. You can’t have everything perfect in life. And do I know that.

On another note, we opened our small gift shop yesterday. We had a good turn out for the first day and I suspect now that folks know that we are open after being closed for two years they will start dropping by even more. At least, we hope so. I need to make enough money to put a new roof on our home, and a pair of new work shoes would be nice too. Haha.

Yesterday I overdid it again and my old body got to hurting, so I guess I am going to have to take it easy for a month and see if I can get things back to normal. Hard thing to do for this old feller, but it has to be done. The alternative isn’t good if I don’t. With that I am off for a waffle that my lovely wife is preparing for me and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and have a great day. Enjoy that sunshine while it lasts. GW
