Good Morning Folks.
It’s a new day, and I’m reminded how farming and writing have something in common. What would that be? Well, I found that you can’t rush either. Both need patience, steady hands, and the kind of care that only comes with years under one’s belt.
Well, she is another rainy old morning here in Cottage Country. The kind of day that makes one think that an extra cup of coffee/cocoa might be in order before heading on out to the old woodworking shop.
Here’s what the weather’s cooking up for us in Port Loring, Ontario, for today, tonight, and tomorrow:
Today (Tuesday, June 10): We’re looking at a mostly cloudy day with a good chance of showers. Temperatures will reach a high of around 62°F (17°C). The wind will be coming from the southwest, around 11 mph (18 km/h).
Tonight: The rain should taper off, leaving us with partly cloudy skies. It’ll cool down to a low of about 50°F (10°C), which means it might be a bit chilly out there.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, June 11): We can expect a mix of sun and clouds, with a chance of passing showers. It’ll warm up a bit, with a high near 70°F (21°C).
Highway 522 is still slow traffic wise these days, which is understandable being that the weather sure hasn’t been the greatest so far this spring. But, with all that said, the trees are sure enjoying the moisture and cooler temperatures.
Bug Report: With these cooler temperatures and wet weather, the bugs have slowed down some, but don’t you fret because they’ll be back, seeking out some fresh, warm blood in the coming days.
On another note, yesterday I worked the day away, fixing up a few things around the house. Seems like there’s a never-ending list of chores that always needs attending to. Which, in a way, is a good thing, because it keeps the old mind entertaining good thoughts and staying sharp, just like a well-used saw.
So what are you up to today, GW? Well, today I suspect, given that it’s raining outside, I’m thinking I’ll get to fixing up some window frames that are in need of repair. As much as I hate to think this way, winter will be coming, and it’s always best to be prepared. Besides, this is the time to do it, when it’s nice and warm outside.
So, with all that in mind, I’m off for the breakfast my lovely wife has made for me. Then I’ll settle into my old Lazy Boy chair and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa while having a morning chat with my little woman. What would a day be without that? Not much in my eyes, that’s for sure.
