Good Morning! Sorry for not posting any information here on my Blog for the past few days. I have had some issues’ health wise. In the hospital and now back home. Nothing to do with the virus. Just some other ongoing things, that we hope are under control.

Starting things off, it is a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperatures have been actually pretty nice for this time of year. Waking up, it was sitting at 14.6 C | 58.28 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 isn’t as busy as it was other years, but that is to be expected with the weather we have been having along with the gas prices and other things that are happening in our country. I suspect though it will pick up in with June in our midst. The Black flies are still with us and the mosquitoes have made their appearance. We have to shake ourselves off before entering the house or … we are in for some swatting later on in the evening hours when trying to sleep.

On another note, I haven’t been busy doing much around the house here these days with not being well, but I hope things get back to normal in the coming days. We did manage to get our vegetable garden planted beforehand, though, which is a good thing. It’s nice to be able to look outside and watch things grow, especially things that you can bring in to the table.

With that, my friends, I am off for a bowl of cereal. I just put my pillows out on the front porch chairs, so I am thinking that will be where I will be residing for a few days. In Closing!

I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning. We are having some sunshine this morning, but it is a bit cool with the temperature waking up sitting at …. 9.9 C | 49.82 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. So all in all, everyone in our area had a pretty good long weekend, weather wise. Now in Niagara it’s a different story with a lot of high winds and things which caused all kinds of issues. Highway 522 is slow this morning, but it will pick up as the day moves forward. Yesterday I worked most of the day in my woodworking shop fixing a few things. Today I will do the same.

On another note, our garlic is sure growing this year. It is up almost two feet at the moment and looking good. I did plant my pumpkins yesterday outside, but I covered them up before going to bed just in case of a frost. We didn’t have any, but it did get down close to where we could have. It’s a hard year to figure out when to plant things as the nights are staying quite cool. I am thinking by the looks of things we won’t get all our vegetables planted till late in the week. I am keeping a close eye on things.

With that I am off for some Pancakes … that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store. I am looking forward to some of Mikes Maple Syrup, It is gooooood! Why not pick up a jug or two. He won the award for … The Worlds Best. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We will also be having some showers off and on this morning. If we are lucky, we might see some sunshine tomorrow. But cooler temperatures will be upon us for most of next week. Along with some more rain off and on. So it’s going to be kind of a mixed bag of weather for a few days. Highway 522 is getting busy. I got up through the night and cars with boats along with campers were going up and down the highway at 2:00 AM. It’s a sign of what’s to come.

On another note, the Blackflies are still annoying, but not as bad as other years. And … yes, the Mosquitoes have started to make themselves noticed. All this damp, warm weather gets them to moving around.

Yesterday I worked away in my old woodworking shop for a bit. Fixed up my old rototiller a bit more and worked in my vegetable garden getting it ready to plant. I will probably do that the middle of the week, as that is when the nighttime temperatures are looking pretty good. I like it to stay around the 50 F mark at nights before I plant. The old saying when I was farming many years ago. Don’t plant till after the 24th of May. I can still hear my old Dad saying that.

With that bit of info under your hat, that is if you wear a hat, I am off for coffee and piece of toast this morning. I don’t feel all that hungry. Have a great day and stay safe. There is still a lot of sickness in our area these days. GW
