Good Morning! You know, one thing I have learned over the years is that: “The best lessons come from mistakes you’ll never forget.”

So it’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring Ontario, and we’re starting off the day with the temperature sitting at 1°C (33.4°F—just above freezing. It’s one of those mornings where you can feel winter’s breath creeping in, so you’ll want to grab a jacket and maybe a hot coffee if you’re venturing out.

As the day moves along, we should see the temperature inch up to around 3°C (37°F). There will also be a mix of sun and cloud on the menu today, but don’t expect much warmth—November has its grip on us now. But in saying that, it’s a good day for splitting some wood or tackling indoor projects

Tonight, we’ll see temperatures dip back down to -4°C (24°F), with clear skies overhead. The frost will be thick by morning, so take care on the roads if you’re out and about early.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we’re in for another chilly day. The high will reach about 4°C (39°F), with some sunshine popping through here and there. Mornings like this remind us that winter’s just around the corner, so enjoy the fresh air while you can. Which I did while feeding the birds this morning. I have to say, I sure do enjoy watching them throughout the day.

On another note, I haven’t been up too much the past few days—got a few things going on body-wise, so I’m taking the time to rest up. Seems there’s always something to slow us older folks down, doesn’t it? But hey, I can’t complain too much. I got a lot done over the summer—maybe a bit too much, considering how I’m feeling now. At any rate, it is what it is, and sometimes, you’ve just got to let your body call the shots.

Today, well, today I am not exactly what I will be doing—if it’s anything like yesterday I will be resting, but we will see.

With that, I’m off to enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife has prepared for me. After that, we’ll see what the day has in store and, more importantly, what I’m up to tackling. Some days, you just have to play it by ear, or how one feels.

You all have a great day, and maybe take a moment to enjoy the quiet of the morning, or the fresh smell of the outdoors. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the day feel right. Take care, folks, and we’ll catch up again soon! GW
