It’s a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. It also has cooled down somewhat, but … not enough for the snow to stop melting. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at 3.8 C | 38.84 F. It will warm up a bi as the day moves forward. The snow has been melting fast for the past few days. I would say it is about half gone. I can now see green where my septic tank is located. Which in reality is a good sign as it tells us that our septic is working properly. Highway 522 is bare and mostly dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good.

On another note, with the snow melting, it is starting to look a bit grungy out there with all the debris spread all over from winter. But once the snow is melted, my wife and I will get to cleaning things up. Can’t wait. At the moment, we are working hard getting our small store set up for this coming summer. A lot of preparations are needed to make it so. But we will get there, just takes time.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal, no … maybe some pancakes this morning for a change along with a cup of tea. Not that we are English, mind ya. After that I will see about helping my lovely wife for a bit, and after that if something comes to mind I might write up another story. I enjoy writing, but over the years I have written so many stories, it’s hard to come up with new ones. Oh well … such is life. If that is all I have to worry about, I am doing okay. Have a great day! Make it a great day!

Not too much is happening today, actually. The temperature however is still above the freezing mark, which in turn is melting our snow quite fast. Another week or so it should be gone, that is if these temperatures hold the way they are now. Highway 522 is bare and mostly dry this morning, which will make travelling a go. Gas prices have dropped a wee bit in the past two days in North Bay, but it’s still higher than it should be. It was up $1.96 a Litre now it is sitting at $1.84 a Litre. Canada is sure a crazy country to be living in at the moment, with some of our powers that be not knowing what they are doing. But in reality, it’s always been that way, It’s just a bit more pronounced these days.

On another note, I worked steadily on a couple more stories I had in mind yesterday for my columns, and will continue on doing the same today. A couple more days I should have enough ahead for summer. Which will be nice as I won’t have to sit in front of my computer when the weather gets nice. Front porch sittin’ isn’t that far off.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then get to work. Take care and have a great day. GW

Starting things off, it is a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. On the good side of things, the temperature is well above the freezing mark, sitting at 5.3 C | 41.54 F. And looking outside the snow is melting fast. If these temperatures keep up, which I think they will, the snow should be almost gone by the end of next week. Yesterday alone we lost a lot. Highway522 is bare and wet this morning, which will make travelling pretty good if you’re in need of some things in the big cities.

Yesterday I worked most of the day here on my computer, along with helping my lovely wife in her studio as she is remodelling. I understand, as I have to do the same in my woodworking shop every so often, with things all over the place.

Today I will do some more work here on my computer, writing up a story or two. Should keep me busy for most of the day. With that, have a great day. GW

It’s a bit foggy today here in Northern Ontario, Canada. The reason for that is, that some warmer temperatures are entering into the picture. You mix warm with cold, you get fog, to some degree. Highway 522 is bare throughout, which will make travelling good today. If lucky, we should see a wee bit of sunshine later on. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -0.1 C | 31.82 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day moves forward, causing a lot of melting. Which is okay with me.

On another note, I worked away bringing in a wee bit more firewood for my wood furnace yesterday, along with cleaning out the driveway. I didn’t really need to clean out the driveway, but I figured I needed to start getting this old body of mine in shape for what’s to come when things warm up. We also needed some more firewood to hold us over. With the price of gas and oil these days, I suspect it will be hard for those relying only on pensions to get by.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast, and will then see what the day has to offer, other than what I have planned. Life is a mystery, that’s for sure.

Have a great day!

It’s a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. And it is still quite cool with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -10.8 C | 12.56 F. But in saying that things will start to warm up a lot as the day moves forward, and we will be seeing a lot of melting for the next couple of weeks. Which is fine with me, as I am ready for summer and seeing green instead of white when I look out the window. It’s been a long winter. Highway 522 is bare, which will make things nice if you have to go anywhere.

And speaking of going anywhere. The price we are paying for lumber and gas in Canada is terrible, and there is no reason for it. Our government spent millions and more millions of taxpayers dollars, on a pipeline that they shut down, which would have supplied all we needed and then some. They say they want to go green, what a joke that is. We here in Canada are supposed to go green, but yet we supply other countries. Another joke. On the next bit we are supposed to be a peace keeping country we don’t fight, instead we supply other countries with all kinds of weapons, so they can fight. I shake my head in wonder where these so-called powers brains are. Well, I could tell you where … I think their heads are located, but I don’t think I need to.

Damn … what a way to start off a day, sheesh, I think I will go back to bed and get up again. Have a great day, If that is possible. GW
