Lots happening in around Port Loring this weekend. Got the Amazing Challenge happening on Saturday with folks trying to out do the other.  For my wife & myself we got our family heading our way, so going to enjoy a few days with them.  Maybe even get them out in the boat to see Nature at her best and might even drop the line in the water.  Tough life, huh?   Old Mirror Lodge has another announcement out pertaining to their restaurant.  Great place for sure to visit, or spend some time, not to forget the good food they have to offer,.along with being right in the middle of Mother Nature herself.  Click Flier to enlarge for better viewing.  

My Opinion On HPV

Here is an article that came out in todays news, that suggest that we all should be having our children vaccinated with a drug for HPV.  My point of view on the subject is that for most, we shouldn’t be putting any of these vaccines into our body.  Second of all, they say that it will stop cancer safely.  I  don’t  believe that they really know that, I believe that they are just speculatingMy opinion, they are causing more harm than good and down the road aways they will soon come do discover they were wrong.  Same as what is happening now, with a lot of the treatments that folks have been receiving for cancer and other serious diseases. Most don’t work.  .  You asked I replied.  Here is the article for you to read, and don’t be thinking I am Catholic either as I am not. My Opinion Only.

Marijuana

You know not that I use any of the stuff right now, but Illegal marijuana today is being used by 10 to 20% of the folks suffering from different diseases. Reason being it helps them and in a lot of cases cures them. Nature has lots to offer, if one just seeks them out.  Would I use it? Sure I would if needed.  It is one of the best and safest drugs out there if used properly.  They don’t tell you that part though.   Just takes the stroke of a pen to make it legal and if done, you would see many folks enjoying the benefits of this plant, without fear, or doing something illegal.  My Opinion Only.

One Of My Vegetable Gardens

Took a picture of our vegetable garden a week ago, will take another, as it sure has grown since then.  Give you an idea of how us northerners grow our gardens.  Had it in this year two weeks before the 24th of May.  Amazing how our climates are changing, as in all my years of farming in Niagara, I would never even think of putting in my plants before May 24th. Click Picture to enlarge. Just one of many gardens I have around the old place.  Been eating salads now for over a month.  Enjoy your day.

Rhubarb Leaves Natural Fix

Did you know you know that rhubarb leaves will kill just about any bug.
Take the leaves off the stocks and put them in a pot with water, they should be cut up in pieces.  Fill the pot up to just about two inches from the top and then put the water to them.  Boil this for about half an hour, strain the leaves out of this and let it cool.  Put in a spray bottle adding Sunlight liquid soap, about quarter cup according to how much liquid you have, mix the two together and spray both sides of the leaves of the plants affected.  Hope this helps you out.  Great bit of info handed down from GIb, one of my readers.  Great way to fix a few bugs naturally, that is if you really need to. Most problems look after themselves if left alone.  Enjoy your day out in the garden.

Argyle Fish would like to send thanks out to all those that helped with the fish hatchery.  There is an application for those that would like to support the cause.  Click Flier below to enlarge and feel free to copy and print it out.  For those avid fishermen out there, a couple dollars would go a long way, in keeping our lakes here in the north, well stocked.  Up to you of course, but without your help, you might as well hang up your fishing pole, as in a few years there won’t be any fish to catch.  Have a great day.

Great news for Webb Simpson winning the US Open.  I always like it when a young contender moves up the ladder.

The new IBM cluster system, Sequoia, took number one spot in the world’s fastest 500 supercomputers, a closely-watched measure of international technological prowess.

The machine, which runs the Linux operating system and was first announced in 2009, has been installed across 4,500 square feet of the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, to carry out simulations of nuclear weapons tests.   I am particularity impressed  with them using Linux for an operating system.  Great system, use it myself.     For the whole write up click following link;  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/9338651/Nuclear-weapons-supercomputer-reclaims-world-speed-record-for-US.html

Not much happening around town.  Weather didn’t corporate for those Fathers wanting to do some sittin’ in the old sunshine; but that will all change after today as lots of sunshine is heading our way with nice warm temperatures to go along with it.   The rain though was much needed  and looking at my vegetable garden this morning I am thinking it grew about six inches last night. Nothing can get a garden to growing nicer than good old Mother Nature.   Remember this folks; We are all fed by the soil of the planet we walk upon, we drink her water, we breathe her air and we eat her food.  We carry her with every breath, with every step, with every sip, and with every bite we take.  We came from it and will end up becoming part of it.  Have a great day.
