Good Morning! So how you all doing? Good I hope. You know, I have found that no matter how a person’s day is, there is always something good in it. Be it rain, pain, anguish, sadness or … what ever. The trick is to find the good parts. For me, just getting out of bed is a great start in my search. LOL And at night I like to look back over my day and see if I missed anything. Usually I find I have done quite well. Anyway … I got carried away there this morning. LOL. Highway 522 is quiet today, but it will pick up as soon as our sun is back out showing off. But I don’t think we will see too much of it today. Tomorrow, though, things start to change for the better, weather wise. The temperature waking up was actually a touch cool, sitting at 10.8 C | 51.44 F. It will warm up a wee bit later on, but not much. We also had some rain through the night, and it will continue on and off for most of the day. Yesterday started off with rain, much like today. I was just about to give up working outside, when I said … “You could stop raining now, as I would sure like to get some work done on the deck I am building around our small cottage.” You know … it did, and my lovely wife and I got a lot done. We even had a few glimpses of the sun. You know, over the years, even when we lived on the farm. No matter what I had planned outside, when I asked the weather, to cooperate, it did. It’s been that way all my life. Coincidence? Hard to believe that. Maybe it’s because the weather and I work together and understand each other. What ever the reason, things have always worked out. Today though we have mowing to do, but it is raining quite hard, so, I don’t think we will get to doing that. But you never know. I haven’t put in my request yet this morning. LOL LOL With that. You all take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy, wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The rain will remain with us for most of the day, tonight and into tomorrow. So I guess my deck building will be put on hold for a day or so. We did however get a lot done yesterday, which is nice. Now though, since we have gone this far, my lovely wife says we should continue on with a wrap around deck instead of just one on the front of the cottage. LOL So giving it some thought, I decided she was right, and we might as well get it all done this year and out of the way. It will be an extra expense, but it will make it real nice for family and friends when they come to stay or visit. Highway 522 is still very busy these days with folks moving around our small community. The rain will slow them down a bit today. Since it is raining, I will do some inside work, after I have some bacon and eggs that my lovely wife is making me. With that, take care and stay safe and have a great day. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy, muggy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. But the temperature isn’t bad at all. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at 19.9 C | 67.82 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. We could see some showers later on in the day and into tomorrow. I am hoping not, as I am in the midst of building the new deck on our cottage. But there isn’t much we can do about that. The weather will do what the weather wants to do. Come to think about it … the weather these days are kind of like our Government. They do what ever they want to do. I heard one time a joke which makes a lot of sense these days. Goes something like this. The problem with political jokes is that they keep getting elected. Lot of truth to them, few words. LOL Anyway, highway 522 is very busy these days, and I suspect it will get even busier as the days move forward, with the lockdown easing off. People are tired and getting away is their escape. I just hope their escape, doesn’t turn out to be a disaster for them or others. Time will tell, as it always does. If folks do what they suppose to do, and follow the rules and get vaccinated, they should be okay … for now. Some have asked me. “GW, how is that for years you have said that getting the flu shot isn’t the way to go, and that a lot of medicines of today do more harm than good. ? And now you are all for the vaccine.” Well … I am still inclined to go by what I have said, but when it comes to a virus like we have in our midst now, and all the science that is out there now, I would think a person would be a …. not to at least take a serious look at these new vaccines we have today. Which my family and I have done. And after taking a serious look at things, we have all had our first shot of the Pfizer. And we will get our second shot in a month or so. I honestly think that the one shot will go a long way in helping folks, more than what is being said. And I also believe that waiting for a while before the second shot will be a lot more beneficial. Why is that? Glad you asked. Simply put, the body is an amazing machine. And with these new vaccines that teach the body what to do, I suspect that once it sees things as they truly are happening, it will react on its own and get into doing what is right. I also like the Pfizer as it is, is German Made. And the Germans are very health related. They also make some of the best products in the world. Which we could do here in Canada if our Powers That Be got off their … and started to do. But hey who am I, just one old feller sharing what he thinks is right, in a world, that well, at the moment to me is one mixed up mess. Take care, my friends. Stay safe. GW

Good Morning! The sun is shinning and the temperature waking up was sitting at 16.4 C | 61.52 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day progresses. No one should have any complaints with the weather in our area at the moment. You could say it’s weather you can almost do anything in. Highway 522 is still very busy with folks moving around from all over. I am not sure where they are all going, or doing, as we only have two stores and a LCBO here in town. Oh, and three restaurants, LOL. But they seem to find places to go to. LOL I suspect most are sight see’rs taking in what we and Nature has to offer. Which is a lot if you really think about it. At least on the Nature end of things. Yesterday we had a busy day. Orders are coming in from all over for my wife’s paintings. She is lining them up to do some now, some later on this winter, when she has more time. For myself, I hooked up a hot water heater for our cottage and installed an air conditioner It was a job, but it is sure nice now and will be a great asset to what’s to come. Once I had that finished, I managed to finish up our new swing set and will add a picture at the end of this post. It turned out really nice, and today we will do some swing settin” LOL I am also planning on adding a new deck to our cottage, so I might get busy working on that. I have to move some plants first which resides around the cottage. I am thinking it will be a good week’s work, that is if the weather and body allows. So with that I am off for some homemade pancakes my lovely wife is making, and I will get to work. Work I enjoy doing, that is. Take care and stay safe.
