It is a touch cool this morning, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -2.9 C | 26.78 F. Maybe I should rephrase that. It’s cold. Highway 522 is bare and dry. We also woke up to some sunshine, which is sure nice to see. Things will warm up well above the freezing mark again today.

Yesterday, my lovely wife and I did some front porch sittin’ for the first time this year. The wind was coming from the North, so with our front porch being on the south side of the house, it was quite nice out there. It sure felt good. I am thinking we will be able to get out again today by the looks of things.

We also worked away on our small gift shop once again, and now I have to get myself in painting mode for a few days, so it will be ready for my wife to decorate and situate our products. It should be nice when all said and done.

With that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my wife is making for me and will then get to work. Stay safe. This virus is still with us, it hasn’t gone anywhere. GW

Starting things off, it is a cloudy morning once again here in Northern Ontario. It is a touch cool with the temperature sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Which will get rid of a lot more snow. We have lost over half of what we had. In the bush around the trees, we are now seeing green once again. Which is a sign that the trees are starting to move their sap up through their branches. Won’t be long, and we will start to see buds. Can’t wait. Highway 522 is bare and wet with all the rain we had yesterday. But travelling will be good for those wanting to go anywhere.

On another note, I worked away writing up a story yesterday, along with helping my wife a bit. Things are coming along with getting our small gift shop in order. Won’t be long, and we will give it a fresh coat of paint. Then after that the little woman will be busy decorating it. Which she is good at, as she has been designing stores and homes for years. Woman of many talents.

So with that I am off for a bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Not sure what I will be up to today. Have a great day. It won’t be long before the warm weather is upon us.
