It’s a bit cloudy this morning. However we should see some sunshine as the day progresses. Which is okay with me as I enjoy sunshine. Yesterday we enjoyed our front porch for a spell taking in all the colors on the trees that surround our home. Sure is a pretty time of year. My wife and I can’t get enough of it. Highway 522 is still a bit busy and I suspect it will get even busier with us closing in on Thanksgiving.

The temperature was cool through the night and waking up it was sitting at 3.7 C | 38.66 F. It will warm up a wee bit later on. The good news is we still haven’t been burning any wood, which is nice, as I like to save it for when it gets really cold. We have though been burning oil every morning, which keeps the dampness out of the house. Feels good too.

Other than that not much happening in and around our small town. Which is normal for us. My lovely wife and I like it that way, that is why we moved here years ago. For the quietness, away from all what is taking place in the world today. We had enough of it throughout our life’s. and want no part of it now. They can do what they want, but leave us out of it.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then begin working on another Podcast. I never realized how many people were looking forward to them. It took me an hour yesterday replying to all the emails that folks sent me. I don’t mind though, as if folks are enjoying them and they put a smile on there faces, what could be better than that.

Oh and I would also like to thank all those that bought me a coffee using the Coffee Button here in my Blog. Nothing better than to be highly caffeinated working on these Podcasts … along with my Blog. Ha ha I appreciate it.

In Closing I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning!

We are finally seeing some sunshine here in Port Loring this morning. Sure looks pretty out there with the sun shinning on all the colored leaves. It is the prettiest time of the year. Although spring & summer in our area, can be nice too. We did have another frost through the night with the temperature waking up sitting at 2.4 C | 36.32 F. We should see sunshine now for the next 5 or 6 days. It will also warm up a bit too. Which is fine with me, as we still have a few things that needs to be done outside, before winter arrives. We do however have most things ready. Highway 522 is still a touch busy these days. I have noticed a lot of older campers moving up and down the highway. It’s amazing that so many of these old campers are still around. Nice to see them though, as it brings back some fine memories, as does other things of old.

Yesterday I mowed our grass which has been growing a lot these days The frost will slow it down some now. After that we will be cleaning up the leaves from our Maple and Basswood trees, which I will rototiller into our vegetable garden just before the ground freezes. I also have to plant our garlic for next year, but I think it can wait for another week. I do however, like to get it in a bit early so that it has a bit of time to get established. I found it grows larger when doing that. It also isn’t as hot. Easier on the stomach.

This morning I will work away on another Podcast until it warms up a bit, and if I feel up to it I will then do some outside work. We will see … I never know these days how the old body will preform. As the old saying goes … One Day At A Time. Sometimes one hour at a time. Ha ha.

With that I am off for some Pancakes that my Lovely Wife is making for me. Occasionally she lets me have a couple. Too much sugar isn’t the best health wise.

It’s a cloudy day for us here in Port Loring. But at least the rain is finished for now. I think. We should be seeing lots of sunshine after today for the next week. That is … if Hurricane Ian doesn’t causes any grief. Not that we would get the storm that Sarasota Florida is going to get, but we could get some more rain. So we will see, I am hoping for sunshine. Highway 522 is slow this morning but it will pick up as the day progresses. Not as busy as it has been but there are still a lot of campers moving into our area. A lot of hunters and fishermen.

On another note my lovely wife and I went to town yesterday to pick up a few things. Along our way we noticed how the leaves were changing colors and I suspect in another week we will be in the middle of it. It is nice right now. If we have more rain it will make short work of them. Lets hope the sun holds it course, which will make it real nice for folks to get out and take in the beauty they are giving off.

In North Bay it was quite busy. I don’t think anyone works anymore as the parking lots were full, and the streets were bumper to bumper. Sign of what is going on these days. While there we picked up our groceries, bought some lunch and ate it in the car while people watching. Interesting to say the least. Something different to do for a change. We still wear our mask when going into stores as we don’t want to catch the virus ,or any other thing that is going around. We are in the minority now. But that is okay they can do what they want to do, and we will do what we want to do.

After picking up what we needed we headed on back home enjoying the scenery as we drove along. It was a full day but a good day. Today we will take it easy. Or at least I will. I have to still finish up my Thanksgiving Podcast. My wife is going to be making some things for Thanksgiving dinner, which is closing in on us fast. Boy time has flown by this year.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast and will then get to work.

In Closing, Would Like To Wish You Well. GW
