Over the years I have had numerous emails, every year increasing daily. I have been doing my darnedest to reply to each and every one of you, but lately I just can’t keep up. I feel bad about it, but there isn’t anything I can do, as to do so I would have to be on the computer for at least 4 hours a day.
So..for those that I haven’t replied back too, I apologize. I eventually will get to you, but might take some time. Thanks George Walters.

Good Morning: We did have a wee bit of rain a day or so ago but nothing that would wet the dust. Plants in the gardens need watering almost every day now. But in-spite of the dry conditions things are growing quite well. Tomatoes are starting to show themselves and pumpkins are getting higher along with the corn. We are eating fresh lettuce every day mixed with garlic scapes. Pretty tasty let me tell ya. Today will take things easy a bit, messed up my back some. Amazing how one can work hard for two or three weeks then just bend over to take the mats out of the car to wash and bang!! out goes the back. So a bit of rest is in order till things settle down. With that enjoy your day and more so enjoy the sunshine. Lots of sun, is the key to good health.
Words Of Wisdom: Seek wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge is of the past, Wisdom is of the future.
Weather Forecast: Sunshine and Warm. Very Nice Day Unfolding Around Us.
Rain Accumulations: No Rain Overnight.
Bug Report: Other than a few mosquitoes, the odd black-fly and a few pesky deer flies things are pretty good these days, bug-wise.
Fishing Report: Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:21 AM – 10:21 AM. Then later on from 2:46 PM – 4:46 PM. I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!
Highway Report: Highway 522 is bare and dry. Great day to travel.

Good Morning: Nice weather is upon us here in Port Loring Ontario. Gardens are growing leaps and bounds these days. Wife and I are eating fresh lettuce and garlic scapes every day. Garlic scapes are the flower bud of the garlic plant. The bud is removed in late June to encourage the bulbs to thicken up. Scapes make a fabulous addition to a flower bouquet, and they are delicious to eat! Scapes taste just like garlic. They can be used in exactly the same way as garlic in any recipe. My wife grinds them up, mixes them with a cream-cheese for dipping veggies, or spread on a cracker is great also. Delicious let me tell you. Some sell the scapes for more than the garlic itself. If too many scapes you can wrap up in wax paper and freeze for later use. Have a great day.
Words Of Wisdom: One finger cannot lift a pebble.

French’s to open new Canadian plant
This is also good news for all my farmer friends that are still growing tomatoes. How this all came about is that some of the people here in Canada took a notion to stand up for what is right. We do have the power to change things, just most choose to sit back and do nothing.
The Canadian Press

French’s says all the ketchup it sells in Canada will now be bottled here as well as being made from local tomatoes.
The U-S-based company has partnered with Toronto’s Select Food Products to build a new manufacturing plant that’s expected to be up and running early next year.
It is also expanding its partnership with Highbury Canco, which sources and packages the tomatoes used in French’s Canadian ketchup at its facility in Leamington.
French’s ketchup has soared in popularity in Canada after its competitor, Heinz, closed its Leamington plant and put about 750 people out of work.

Information For Port Loring Ontario May 20/2016
Good Morning: Nice looking day is taking place here in Port Loring Ontario. Other than the black-flies. But one can put up with them if a bit of care is taken. My wife and I have been really busy these past few days cleaning out the under brush in our bushes around the house. Also took down quite a few dead pines. Been bothering us some for the past few years. But finished up yesterday and I have to say it sure looks nice now. Shows just how beautiful our property really is. Also will be better come summer as the cool breezes from under the red pines will be able to reach our house. On another note today is the day if your interested, to read the Hydro Meter here in Port Loring. We do it every month as nothing bothers me more than to get an estimated bill. Reason being if you don’t read it, one month is estimated usually low, then the following month is high which of course puts you into a higher bracket and costs you a lot more. So solution, read the meter and call it in. Also you can ask as we did for the dates to call it in every month. With that will head on out to the front porch and admire all our hard work that has taken place over the past couple weeks. Enjoy your day.
Weather Forecast: Waking up temperatures were sitting at 8 C | 46.4 F. Very nice and warmer with sunshine and a few clouds. Weather Station Home:
Rain Accumulations: No Rain overnight.
Bug Report: Black Flies are annoying now and will remain with us for a few weeks. Mosquitoes haven’t entered into the picture as of yet. Okay by me.
Fishing Report: Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 6:38 PM – 8:38 PM. Might hook on a few nice ones this morning from 8:00 AM – 11.00 AM. I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!
Highway Report: Highway 522 is bare and dry Traveling will be good today in all directions.
