“Good morning! Over the years, life has taught me that the simplest things—like the scent of fresh-turned soil, the warmth of wood under your hands, or the flow of words on a blank page—often hold the greatest lessons.
Today, Tuesday, November 19, 2024, in Port Loring, Ontario, we’re looking at a high of 46°F (8°C) under low clouds. As evening approaches, temperatures will dip to around 41°F (5°C). Moving into Wednesday, November 20, expect rather cloudy skies with a bit of rain, mainly early in the day, reaching a high of 48°F (9°C) and a low of 38°F (3°C).
The temperature at the time of this post was sitting at 0.3 C | 32.54 F.
On another note, my wife and I decided to take a trip to North Bay yesterday to pick up a few things. We had ourselves a fine day, taking in the sights of the city, stocking up on groceries, and treating ourselves to a pizza at East Side Mario’s. They make one great Canadian Pizza! Afterward, we headed back home, enjoying what nature had to offer along the way—which, I have to say, was plenty, given how far off the beaten track we live.
Sometimes, a little getaway is just what a person needs. For us, it serves as a reminder. While we enjoy the city for its stores and conveniences, it’s our home in the country that we appreciate the most. Not saying city life is all bad—far from it—it’s just not for us. But, every so often, it’s nice to step out and see what the other half is up to. Keeps life interesting, don’t you think?
We also noticed that the Highways weren’t all that busy which is to be expected living where we do. Most of the tourists have left us for another year, hunters have had their fill, and the cottagers have closed them up for what lies ahead.
This morning, I’m thinking I’ll see if I feel up to doing a bit of work here at the computer. Sitting for too long doesn’t agree with me much these days, so I have to keep moving—got to keep these old bones limber.
For now, though, I’m off to enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and a slice of homemade bread. My lovely wife bakes our bread herself, and let me tell you, it’s not only delicious but a whole lot healthier too—especially in these times. Nothing quite beats the taste of homemade.
You all have a great day and I will leave you with this: If there’s one thing life’s shown me, it’s that putting your shoulder to the wheel gets results, no matter what you’re doing. Whether it’s mending a fence, jotting down a story, or baking up a loaf of bread, the effort you put in has a way of paying off, sooner or later. So, get out there and make the most of your day—you never know what you might accomplish!
