Good Morning:  Well very cold morning here in Port Loring.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at; -29.4 C | -20.92 F

Forecast For Today: Changeable, mending.  Continuing cold all day,

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is pretty well bare but does have some icy sections here and there. Driving today from Toronto to Port Loring should be excellent.

Ice Fishing Times: This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 6:30 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few today. Good Luck!

Around Town:  Haven’t got much to report here this morning.  Being so cold I think I will stay in where it is warm today.  Got lots to do in this old house which keeps my mind on the straight and narrow.  The new Natural Health book is all but finished.  Waiting for a couple of entries from some good friends of mine and will then send it off for the first print.  I will let you know when it is ready to purchase.  Going to be a great book for all ages.  Tea time here, think I will have a corn silk tea this morning for a change.  Stay warm and safe if out and about.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Not to much to report here this morning.  Being so cold folks are staying in where it is warm.  Can’t say I blame them. Looking out the window at other homes in the area one can see the smoke lazily rising from the chimneys, then being so cold edging towards the ground.  Kind of brings contentment to ones mind and soul just watching it.  Sign of living in the north my old Grandfather used to say. Miss that old feller.  On another note, in a week and a couple days we are back into March.  OK by me as I am ready for some front porch sittin’.  So with that I will head on into the kitchen and pick up my cup of teat that my wife so lovingly makes for me each morning.  English Breakfast all on its own this morning.  Enjoy your day, stay warm and safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town: All is quiet.  For my wife and I we have been steadily enjoying our home made preserves from last years crops.  Preserving is a great way of getting the much needed vitamins and nourishment  this time of year.  We do up around 80 jars of tomatoes from our gardens along with other veggies and come summer of the following year they are pretty well all gone.  Along with them our dried herbs make a great additive to the different dishes my wife makes.  Seems to bring the body into a state that keeps asking for more.  Tea time here, English Breakfast with a leave or two of Dandelion.  Great way to start ones day.  In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Business’s are slow which is to be expected this time of year.  Things though will pick up in a few weeks with spring entering into the picture.  I see the seed catalogues are out for spring, been getting a few in the mail.  Nothing can take ones mind of the hash winter days more than browsing through one of the catalogues.  Just the pictures of the flowers and vegetables seems to brighten ones day.  Words and pictures have a way of doing that to ones mind.  Tea time here, Chaga is tea of choice this morning.  Enjoy your day, stay warm and safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Hardly a car or truck moving up and down the highway.  Folks are staying home where it is warm feeding their furnaces and stoves. About all one can do on days like this, as it is just to cold to be outside doing anything.  But it is nice and warm in this old house of ours. New wood furnace we had installed last fall is working like a charm.  Have to say it is one of the best investments I have I made over the years.  So guess that is about it for this morning.  Dress warm if out and about and enjoy your day.  It’s all what you make it. Dandelion Tea here this morning.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well our Winterfest is in the works starting today.   Scroll down to one of my former posts for all the times and information of what is taking place.  Should make for a fun weekend.  Yesterday we took a drive to North Bay to visit our son Karl.  Also picked up some groceries and things which we were in need of.  Had a great time and a nice meal out too.  Good to get away now and then.   I have noticed over the past few months more organic items are becoming more popular. Which is fantastic. The more that folks buy in Organic, the cheaper they will become. For years the Powers that be said that the world is growing so fast they couldn’t do with out all the chemicals or GMO that they use on and in our veggies and things. It was a necessity. Well that is now proven to be not true. Being a farmer I have fought most my life to eliminate all the pesticides and things as my father before me. I am not blaming these folks as in reality they just didn’t know any better. With the new generation now coming into the picture things have been changing and will change even more. Reason being is that they, the younger ones can’t be fooled. They know what is going on and now they are demanding things change to a more healthy state. Which is a great thing. So again remember, this is my opinion only.  In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach George Walters at; [email protected]

Around Town:   For myself and my wife we have been steadily working on the new Natural Health Book.  It is just about finished.  We are now in the process of editing it. It has been a long road in its preparation as I wanted it to be self explanatory and easy to read. It will be a book for all ages and walks of life.  Years of wisdom that has been handed down from Grey Wolf my Native Friend, my Grandfather, Father, Mother, Reg and Laura Potter the folks that raised me, Doctor friends, Specialists along with myself. It will be a book that you will feel comfortable with.   So guess that is enough about me and my doings.  Heading off for my morning tea.  English Breakfast all on its own.  Like to do that now and then.  In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  On the good side of things I haven’t had to clean the driveway for the past four days.  I have noticed that the snowmobiles are out in full force heading off on their trail of choice.  Great to see so many folks out an about.  I never got into Snowmobiling much.  Years ago I did have an old Ski-Do which was quite a machine.  Often wonder what happened to that old girl.  I do see some folks restoring them now and then, which is a great thing, as it keeps our past alive.  Started good too, all the time I had it.  Usually no more than two or three pulls.  I imagine most today are all electric start.  The part that bothers me the most is the cost of getting set up.  The machines today are in the thousands, put that together with warm clothes,licences, gas, maintenance and insurance and on top of  that the price of a trail pass, well for some it is just a bit out of reach.  Not complaining mind ya, I give credit to those that can do it. My wife and I do get out quite a bit, our choice of transportation being Shanks’ mare. Leave the  Shanks’ mare with you to think on.  So my friends, heading off for a tea. What Kind?  Oh! Just regular English Breakfast this morning, thank you.     In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  ltss-0463Our Winterfest is almost ready to begin.  For all the details just click on the flyer.  On another note, I have been digging into last years supply of garlic.  Had a substantial amount harvested and is it good.  My wife adds it to almost every meal.  To get the best out of your garlic you should be eating a wee bit each day raw,  along with cooking it.  The cooking brings out other beneficial items where the raw has its own.  Both are needed to maintain a healthy body.  There is nothing like garlic for over all health.  I don’t recommend buying the off shore kind.  A way to make sure you are getting the best of the best, look for garlic in your grocery store that has a bit of roots still attached to the bulb.  So my friends time for a Chaga Tea and see what the day brings upon us.  Every day is a mystery, unfolding right before our eyes.  In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.   You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Not to much to report here for February 1st.   Thinking I will just take it easy today.   Then again I do that every day.  Hmm, well what can you do.  Tough life for sure.  But it wasn’t always this way, took a lot of hard work to get to where we are now.  Would I change anything?  Nope, I figure we are right where we are suppose to be in life.  Enjoying it to the fullest.   So being such a great day I am heading off for a Dandelion Tea.  There is nothing on this earth that can heal the body like the Dandelion.  Make sure where you dig them that the soil is good and enjoy!   In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.  You can reach me George Walters at  [email protected]

Around Town:  Well we had around six inches of new snow yesterday so I am warming up the snow blower so it can do what it needs to do.  I usually clean it by hand but being so cold and the snow being a touch hard, thinking this will be the best approach to what has to be done.   There is a limit of what an older feller can do and the secret to that is knowing ones limits.  So my friends, as said before, but still important.  Try and get outside for a few minutes taking in some fresh northern air and let the sun sink into your skin on your face.  Better than any flu shot bar none.   In closing I would like to wish you well.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

If your in need of some building supplies or just want to find out about a project, drop by and ask for Steve.    After that I headed on down to see Derrill and Mike at Clapperton’s Garage & Towing.  Both were there and as usual we had a good old chat for a bit.  Two nice folks to say the least. Here again if your in need of towing you can’t go wrong with Derrill and if your need some small equipment fixed up or your boat motor or snowmobile fixed ask for Mike.  So my friends, enjoy your day and stay safe an warm.

Around Town:  Not much to report on this fine Sunday morning.  Just lit the wood furnace as  we didn’t have it going yesterday being so mild.  Nothing quite like wood heat to make the old bones feel comfortable. My old Dad used to say that wood heat not only warms the body but warms the heart.  He might have something there for some folks, others though I found it would take quite a bit of wood to do that job.  HA HA.  Looking out this morning with the sun shinning on the trees kind of makes getting out of bed all worth while.  Taking in the fresh northern air while feeding the birds seems to fill ones body with strength.  So what could be better?  Not much.  The day is there waiting.  It is totally up to you on how it pans out.  Tea time here.  You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
