Good Morning From Port Loring Ontario

Good morning.  Well internet was down yesterday for the morning so didn’t get to adding much.  This morning though things are back to normal but a touch cooler.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at…14.4 C | 57.92 F.  Big difference than the last the few days.  Had to put on a sweater.

Forecast For Today:   Changeable, mending as the day progresses.

Bug Report:   Actually quite nice out there other than a few mosquitoes and no see flies.  They don’t really hurt you but they do annoy you with getting in ones eyes, ears and nose.  Full time job swishing them away if out near a car, mower or any other piece of equipment that is running.  Same as most the insects they are after the carbon-monoxide that comes from the engines and us humans. Draws them to you.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…9:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then again from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck.

Information:   Not to much to report.  Yesterday with the Farmers Market things were quite busy.  At least for us here at our small store.  Lots of good friends from the USA  dropped by.  Good to see them too.  Also lots of folks from the surrounding area came for a visit and to purchase items of choice. On another note, with all this rain the veggie garden is sure growing.  Think things grew a foot.  Can almost stand there an watch things reaching up towards the sun.  Should have a great crop of everything this year. Actually I figure we are about a week ahead of last year with things getting ready to eat.  So in-spite of our cool spring we are still ahead of the game.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW

Happenings In Port Loring Ontario

Morning. Well rain is still upon us.  Yesterday we had around 18mm of the wet stuff.  Through the night we had another 8mm and will see what the day brings us. Temperatures were quite warm through the night and waking up they were reading…22.7 C | 72.86 F.  Quite damp,  which in turn gets the old bones to aching a touch.  But things will improve body wise in a few days, when the wet weather moves out of the area.

Forecast For Today: Stormy, much rain off and on all day and into tonight.

Bug Report:  With all the wet weather things have quieted down some. Mosquitoes though, if out in the bush can still irritate a feller or gal.  Once the sun comes back on line and the dragon flies make an appearance once again, them blood sucking parasites will see their just reward.   Works that way with every species, even us humans.  Makes me smile thinking about it.

Fishing Times:   Well don’t think too many folks will be out there today, but then again one never knows, there are some that fishes all weather.  Myself I tend to seek out the nicer days, along with the fishing times.  I figure anything that expands my chances is worth taking into account.  Anyway, today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:00 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Not the greatest day for sure for bringing them in.  But in saying that….good luck.

Around Town:  Quiet this year starting out.  But then…it is only the first week into the main holiday season.  Mother Nature has a way of changing folks minds and drawing them into her arms, even if it is for only a few weeks each year. I have to say though that our Native American Flutes this year are on top of folks things to purchase.  We have exceeded our expectations already and we are just starting.  I guess the word is spreading, which in my mind proves that word of mouth is the best advertising one can have.  Put that together with 45 years of making them a feller should be doing quite well. This year we have added some new flutes to our assortment…being…Branch Flutes.  Each branch is carefully selected, dried and brought to life. Very, very hard to make and bring into sound, but when completed there is no other sound on earth like them, each flute being one of a kind, which can never to be duplicated.  Mother Nature is surely amazing, if us humans work with her, not against her.  Below I have added some picture which will show you the quality of my work.  Click each picture to enlarge.  Enjoy your day my friends.   GW

Port Loring Ontario, Information

Good morning.  Nice looking day out there, shaping up to be a fine long weekend.   Temperatures waking up were sitting at…19.3 C | 66.74 F.  Will be a warm one as the day progresses.  Good day to keep the blinds or curtains closed a bit so, the house stays cool.  Also saves on the Hydro Bill as that isn’t cheap any-more.  Prices in my opinion…are way out of line.  As is our gas prices in this country.  Amazing how they can get away with it.   Anyway…

Forecast For Today:  Rather unsettled clearing later.

Bug Report:  I am happy to report that the mosquitoes have died down some as the dragon flies are cleaning them quite rapidly.  Normal amounts now surround us throughout the day and into the evening hours.  A few pesky deer flies and horseflies are still amongst us and will remain for the rest of the season till cooler weather returns.

Fishing Times:  The old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there today will be from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Again from 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM and once again from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating for catching them in the early hours and a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the later hours.  I am thinking for the 24th Annual Poker Run, this year, it will be a super great day.  Have fun and good luck.ltss-0355

Port Loring Information

Good morning. Well some cloudy skies to start off the day here this morning.  But should see some sunshine a bit later.  Temperatures this morning waking up were sitting at…14.4 C | 57.92 F.  A touch Cool for this time of year coming into July.  Yesterday and through the night we had 19 mm of rain.  Should look after our gardens for a week or so, along with nature and our critter friends.

Forecast For Today:    Showery early, improving as the day moves forward.

Bug Report:   Pretty good out there right now with the cooler weather upon us. Mosquitoes are still a touch annoying, but the dragon flies are cleaning them up quite quickly when they make their appearance.

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to put some fish in the frying pan for supper the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from…9:00 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then again from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them this morning and a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them later on this afternoon.  Not the greatest, but if one perseveres they should catch enough for supper.  Good luck.

Around Town:  Still quite quiet around our small community.  Today though our Farmers Market is opening for the first time this year.  Should be a great event for sure, along with some tasty treats for those in need.  Be sure to take it in, as it is one of the last frontiers that we can go to freely and buy fresh produce and home made products.  Click Flyer to Enlarge for better viewing.  ltss-0357Have a great day my friends.  GW
