Good Morning!. It’s another cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 5.2 C | 41.36 F. We have had some heavy frost for the past two mornings which I suspect took its toll on a lot of gardens. I lost a few plants myself. I had them covered, but being so cold it didn’t help. Not much a person can do other than replant. Usually things work out, but occasionally a year comes along that surprises a person. Such is life. Highway 522 is still quite busy these days with folks coming in from all over. Knowing that, extra care is needed to keep one safe with this virus. Even though a person has had his or her shot doesn’t mean that they are invincible. I suspect we will be living with this virus for a few years to come. On another note, my lovely wife and I have been getting a lot of work done on our new building out back. It is finally starting to look like something. Today we will finish up the trim work and then get to installing the shingles on the roof. It has been cool working out there, but the good part is the black flies and mosquitoes don’t like the cold all that much. Which makes things a lot nicer for working. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Other than what I have planned. You just never know, and I like it that way … as it makes life interesting. LOL Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning for a change here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a touch cool though with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 2.3 C | 36.14 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. Tomorrow things will begin to be more pleasant temperature and sun wise. But in saying that, the cooler temperatures have kept the black-flies and mosquitoes at bay. Which makes it nice for getting some of our outside work done up. Yesterday we got our mowing finished up in the morning, and then in the afternoon we installed some expensive sheets of plywood on our roof of our new building out back of our house, that we are building. We had a busy day but a good day. Today we will put on some trim around the window and door and a facer board. And then we will shingle the roof. That’s the plan. But you never know what a day has in store. On another note we did have a wee bit of frost last night, so I am happy I covered our vegetable plants that we planted a few days ago. Tonight I will do the same. After tonight the nighttime temperatures shouldn’t be a concern. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and maybe an English Muffin and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy damp rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 16.8 C | 62.24 F. Not to bad. If we are lucky we might have a wee bit of sunshine later on. But it is calling for more rain tomorrow. So …. knowing that, I guess I will be doing some inside work. Not that, that is a problem, as I have lots to do no matter what the day entails. Yesterday my lovely wife and I worked all day on our new shed out back we are building. We actually had a nice day and the black flies and mosquitoes weren’t all that bad. I have noticed the Dragon Flies are starting to make their appearance, which is a good thing, as they sure clean up them pesky blood sucking parasites. Nature taking care of Nature. Highway 522 is still busy with city folks coming into our area from all over, taking in what we have to offer. Good in one way, not so good in another way. LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, you just never know what a day might bring. Take care and stay safe, things are still quite bad out there virus wise.

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy, damp, cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 8.7 C | 47.66 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. The blackflies are still quite bad in certain areas, along with them pesky mosquitoes. Highway 522 is busy these days with lots of campers and things moving up and down the highway. Used to be … I could go to the Hardware store and know everyone that I happened upon. Nowadays, I don’t know half of them. Sign of the times I guess. Reason being, that a lot of people from the big cities are seeing the light, selling, and moving to the country, caused by this virus. I can’t say I blame them. It is also amazing how much the prices of homes have risen here in our area. Truth be told … it is getting hard to find properties for sale any more. Everything has been bought up. Even the vacant land is selling fast these days, with folks putting trailers and mobile homes on them. On another note, our firewood was delivered a couple of days ago, and my wife and I decided to get to work and pile it before it got wet with this rain we have been having. It got a wee bit wet on a few pieces, nothing to be concerned about. We had it all piled under our old lean-to in one and a half days. Not bad for an old feller and a hardworking woman. They call that Team Work! We do everything together. Today I might do some outside work if the weather clears and warms up some. I will see how that goes. This damp cool weather plays havoc on these old bones of mine. LOL But I keep moving. The worst thing us older folks can do is to sit and do nothing. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know what a day might bring ya. Take care and stay safe. Things are still quite bad out there. GW
