Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature isn’t all that bad sitting at 8.7 C | 47.66 F. It will warm up a bit, but we can expect some showers off and on now for the next few days. Highway 522 is picking up with tourists. I suspect it is caused from people being told to stay at home, and being at home they say hey! I am getting paid to stay at home, I might as well go camping or to a cottage. In certain instances I get it, in others when going in and out of stores maybe infecting others or getting infected, I don’t. On another note, my lovely wife and I did manage to get a lot done in our cottage to be yesterday, hanging a new cupboard I made. Installing a new fridge along with some cleaning. Well … my wife did the cleaning. She is a stickler when it comes to cleanness. LOL Today I will work inside and maybe do a bit of work after lunch in my woodworking shop. I have a shelf for our cottage I am working on, that I want to finish. It’s nice to be able to do these things. I have to admit, our lifestyle hasn’t changed all that much since this virus entered into the picture. And the few things that have changed we both adapted, as we have done all our lives, I can’t see sitting around wining about things. Our small store had to be closed for over a year now for our own protection along with others, but it didn’t stop us from moving ahead. We simply looked for other avenues to follow which are many, if you choose to look. And we didn’t take one cent of assistance. Anyways … you all take care … and have a great day. Make it a great day. You’re the only one that can do that. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature was a touch cool sitting at 5.2 C | 41.36 F getting out of bed. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. And, we can expect some more showers possibly today, tomorrow and the next day. Then I am thinking, things will start to look a wee bit better, weather wise that is. Highway 522 is quiet this morning, but it is early along with being Sunday. On another note I did get outside yesterday and mowed our grass around our house. Half way done, the new mower we bought two years ago stopped once again, so … I had to take it apart and see what was going wrong. I am thinking it is all to do with the jet being too small in the cheap plastic carbs they are putting on the engines today. So I will be looking into that. Maybe I can fix that problem making it a touch larger. It’s amazing that nowadays a lot of new things aren’t worth a damn, being made so cheaply. The trouble is, they are being made cheap, but they want a lot of money to buy them. Today being so cloudy, damp and cool, I think I will stay in and maybe work on a story or two. I did light the wood furnace this morning, which is perking away taking out the dampness in the house, along with my old bones. You can’t beat wood heat for arthritis, along with a few other issues relating to getting a bit older. With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal, and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a sunny day here in Port Loring, Ontario. I have to admit in spite of it being cold it sure looks nice outside. The temperature waking up was sitting at 0.1 C | 32.18 F. We did have a heavy frost through the night and into the early morning hours. The sun is making short work of it now. It will warm up as the day moves forward and tomorrow will be a fantastic day. Front porch sittin’ here I come. Highway 522 is picking up with traffic these days with folks coming in from other places, in spite of us being closed down. Makes me shake my head. Yesterday being so wet and cold I stayed inside and worked on some stories. This morning I will do the same and maybe if it warms up some I will head on outside later on. On another note I hope everyone reads the article I added below this post. The owner of the company says it all of what is happening here in Canada. The post is called: Sad Day for Canada. I agree with him totally, as I have been through what he is going through. In a smaller field, but nonetheless the same. As us old farmers here in Canada have been dealing with these so-called politicians for years. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 2.4 C | 36.32 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is today. Actually we could see a few intermittent flurries this afternoon. We did have an inch or so of rain through the night which filled my rain barrel. I like to get it filled up around this time of year, so I have some nice soft rain water for my plants that we are going to put into the ground in a couple of weeks or so. Highway 522 is sort of quiet these days, but there are a few out-of- towner’s moving into the area. Even with the stay at home order in effect, there is still a lot of people travelling all over the place. I don’t understand peoples logic these days. Not much we can do about it, other than to stay vigilant, and always be on guard protecting ourselves and family when near someone we don’t know. Actually … even those we do know. LOL Pays to be safe. On another note, I didn’t do much outside yesterday, but I did write up a story for my newspaper columns. Today I will see if I can come up with another. With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops. Stay safe!
