George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Lemon Pie

My Lovely Wife has been busy this morning, making me a homemade lemon pie from some fresh lemons. Sure looks tasty, and will get into that a bit later on today. I’ll even have a piece for you!

New Road Side Stand

Here are a few pictures of the new Roadside-Stand that I have been working on for the past week or so. From start to finish. It turned out not so bad, and will be nice to put some outside things on throughout the summer months. When I get to making them, that is. Ha ha. And … we usually have some fresh veggies, tomatoes and things, that we sell from time to time. The axle on the front is off an old Stage Coach, and the Back Axle is off an old Model T Ford. I just put everything together years ago and came up with this. It was a bit shabby from sitting out front for years, as you can see in the one picture, but all new now, with a steel roof. Anyway, as requested, here are a few pictures.

What’s Happening On May 13/2022

Once again it is a fantastic day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Other than the Black Flies as they are out in full force. Although, when i was working in my gardens, they weren’t biting that much. Annoying is more of what is taking place at the moment. The mosquitoes aren’t out as yet, but with this warm weather, I am sure they are lurking in the wings so to speak. Highway 522 is busy and will get busier with folks taking their vacations. And a lot just like to get away for the weekend. The price of gas though, is slowing a lot of folks from going too far from home. We are paying a heck of a price, that’s for sure. It’s all about price gouging. Making that Almighty dollar. Not what is good for the country. And on top of all that, this carbon tax which is the biggest joke of the century is sure hurting folks a lot.

On another note, I worked steadily on different things around my shop yesterday, along with turning over more of my vegetable gardens. I need my large Rototiller, but the parts aren’t in yet, so I can fix it. Always something to hinder ones mind. Our tulips are sure putting on a show these days in front of our home. They sure are nice to take in while enjoying our coffee on the front porch. Along with the trees that are all coming out in leaf. Even our Wild Leeks are looking good this year. My lovely wife is going to make us a Wild Leek Soup either today or tomorrow. It is one of the healthiest things a person can eat in the spring and very good for those with allergies.

So with that I am off for a bowl of porridge and … maybe I will uncover my boat today. Will see how that works out. You never know. Plan one thing and then do another. Ha Ha. Take care and have a great day.
