It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We are also having some intermittent showers. It will remain this way for most of the day, with some more showers arriving later on this afternoon. It is still a touch cool, with the temperature waking up sitting at 7.3 C | 45.14 F.

Now in saying all that, tomorrow things start to change to more enjoyable weather. By the looks of things, my old weather station, is saying that we will be having lots of sunshine for the next 7 or 8 days. And along with that, the temperatures are going to be warming up and drying things up. Which is nice as I would like to till up my vegetable gardens, getting them ready to plant around the end of May. It would be nice if I could get some things planted earlier.

No Black Flies as yet in our area. Highway 522 is picking up with folks starting to open up their cottages along with some settling into their camping spots for the summer. It’s nice to see folks moving around.

Yesterday I worked all day on a stand I am making, using an old trailer I made years ago, that I will put out front of our home. Kind of handy to sell a few fresh veggies that we grow along with other things. The one I had was looking kind of shabby and needed a lot of repairs, but it is coming along. All it takes is time, a bit of money and some ingenuity. Along with the equipment to make it. LOL It was a bit cool yesterday working on things, but in spite of the weather I still managed to get a lot done. If things goes to plan, I should have it ready in a week or so.

With that, I am off for a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then get to work. Have a great day, and take extra precautions if out and about, as this virus is still hitting a lot of folks here in our town. And other places as well. Better be safe than sorry. GW

It’s a rainy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The rain will bring things along like the grass, trees, and flowers. It is nice watching things wake up after a long winters sleep. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning and quiet. Through the day we are seeing a few new people moving into the area. The virus is still pretty bad here in town, with a lot of people being sick.

Yesterday, my wife and I got our outside shower house all set up for summer. I still have to hook up the water to the cottage, but I can do that when a nicer day is upon us. The gas prices are still very high, sitting around the $2.00 a Litre mark in North Bay, some places are a touch lower. On the reserve, they are sitting at around $1:72 a Litre. And I suspect it will remain high with summer entering into the picture, The Powers That Be likes to capitalize on everyone enjoying their holidays. The thing is, there is no reason for it to be so high here in Canada, where we have more natural resources than most other countries. What we need to be doing is building our own refineries, so we can be more self efficient. At the moment, we let the USA refine our oil, along with a few other countries. It’s no wonder other countries look at us as a joke. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Anyway that is my rant for this rainy morning Ha Ha.

Today I will be working away in my woodworking shop on some more one of a kind items for our gift shop that we hope will be opening at the end of May. We will see how this virus is doing here in town when the time comes. I did light the wood stove this morning to take out the dampness and warm the shop up a bit. Makes things nicer. No black flies as yet. So with that, I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me. Stay safe. GW
