Good Morning! We are finally having some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario this morning. It is a touch cool with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 5.6 C | 42.08 F. It will warm up considerably as the day moves forward. And the good part is, that the rest of the week the sunshine will remain with us, along with some warm temperatures. We are heading into summer weather now. But in saying that them pesky blackflies are going to be with us for a few weeks too, along with them blood sucking parasites, the mosquito. Today I have some work to do in my woodworking shop, so after breakfast I will get at that. Man time is sure moving along these days. It won’t be long, and I will be planting my vegetable gardens. Actually, if the temperatures stay warm at night say around 50 F I might be planting within a week. I will be keeping an eye on things. Only one eye … as I need the other, to do other things. LOL On another note, I see that they stopped using the AstraZeneca Vaccine here in Ontario. I have been saying all along that I don’t think this is a safe vaccine to be taking. I do believe in places like India where they don’t have hardly any vaccines at all right now, it would be better than nothing. For my wife and I we couldn’t see taking it and then having to worry whether we would get a brain clot or?. The stress alone would be enough to put a feller out of commission. We have enough on our plate these days without that. Anyways … you all have a great day. Make it a good day and enjoy some of that sunshine. I am a firm believer that the vitamin D 3 we get from the sun can play a major role in helping us humans with this virus that is among us. Along with a lot of other diseases. If a test were taken yo u would find that almost everyone is major low, and I mean major low on vitamin D. Actually one of my sons was getting sick all the time, so I had him ask his doctor to check it out in his blood test. What they found was outstanding. Well below the 22% mark. He was so low that they immediately put him on 50,000 UI. once a week for a few weeks. The test costs $40.00 here in Ontario. But I think everyone should be having it done. Insist on it! In doing so a lot of sickness would be eliminated. But you do what you want to do. Stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a rainy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at 2.3 C | 36.14 F. It will remain cool and wet for most of the day. There is a possibility of the sun making an appearance later on, but I suspect we will have to wait till tomorrow. The good news is that starting tomorrow weather wise, things will take a major change with lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures entering into the picture. Summer weather is heading our way. On another note, the Black Flies are starting to annoy us humans. It never fails they are here from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day. And this year they made their appearance right on time. Yesterday being so wet I worked in my woodworking shop cleaning up the mess I made over the past two weeks. Today I will get things together that I will be needing to build a smaller lean too for my wood outback of my house. I figure it should be big enough to hold around 3 or 4 cords. It will make things a lot easier to get at the firewood come winter. After that I will work on a story or two for my columns in the Newspapers I write for. I like to get them done, so I don’t have to be inside when the nice weather is upon us. With that … I guess I will go for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring Ontario. We did have a wee bit of sunshine earlier, which was nice as I finally got finished installing my under drainage pipes in behind my house. The problem I was having was that the water from the eve troughs wasn’t running away from the house. I have been wanting to do that for the past 17 years LOL. So this was the year. Took a lot of digging to do it by hand, with some of it being in clay. I got a good deal from Home Hardware on some under drainage pipes which made it even nicer. So now we will wait and see what happens when we get a rain. I don’t see any reasons why it won’t work. Now I am going to build a lean too for my firewood behind my house. I do have a large one, but I figured it would be nice to have one closer to where I put it in the house. And if I get time I will maybe add a fish cleaning station on the ones end of. Maybe even a light to see what we are doing as most of the time when we come in from fishing it is a getting dark. So lots to do. With that I am off for a bite to eat, and I think I can smell coffee brewing. Nothing like a fresh pot of perked coffee. Take care and stay safe … things aren’t all that good right now with this virus. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 6.1 C | 42.98 F. By the looks of things we will be having a really nice Mother’s Day. Tomorrow though we will be back to some rain and cooler temperatures. So …. if you have some outside work to be done, today is the day. I have lots to do as my lovely wife does, so we will be looking after that and tomorrow we will take the day off. Yesterday I did get a lot done on our shower house for our cottage to be. Today I will carry on. I should mow our grass, but I am thinking we can wait for a couple more days. And I don’t feel like doing it today LOL. Highway 522 is pretty busy with folks moving around along with others coming into our area from other places. I was told we have 4 cases here in town now. Knowing that extra care should be taken. In a small town, it can infect a lot of people if we aren’t careful. I think most are, but there are some that don’t seem to give a damn. Makes me shake my head in wonder. I guess the only way these people will learn is if they become infected or a loved one. Anyways enough of that. It’s Mother’s Day. A time to remember your Mother and all she does and has done for you. Take care and stay safe. GW
