Good morning.  Well a really nice looking day thus far.  Temperatures are sitting at….     17 C | 62.6 F.  Will warm up to where it was yesterday a bit later on. Forecast for today is calling for it to be….Stormy, much rain later on in the day and into tomorrow and Tuesday even. Going to get some rain which in reality is needed.  Amazing how things dry out so quickly.  Reason being it is mostly sandy soil in our area.  Mother nature looks after her own.  We as humans think we are so powerful, but if truth be known we are smaller than a gnat compared to our Mother…Earth.   Makes me smile when the so called Powers That Be….say. “This is the way it’s going to be.”

Bug Report:  Well…Black Flies and Mosquitoes are out in full force preying upon us warm blooded critters.  They aren’t real fussy neither, be it horses, dogs, cats, birds, deer or humans.  All a spring feast to them.  At any rate each day moves forward towards the end of the Black Flies and hoping the Mosquitoes fill their appetite and leave us humans alone a bit.  Of course then we have the horse flies and deer flies, along with the no see flies coming into the picture.  Kind of just have to take them one at at time.

Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick, along with Grandfathers Formula, says that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM.  Then once again from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating for catching them early, with a 2 fish rating out of 4 later on in the day.  So not the greatest day for fishing, but as I always say…One just never knows when that big old Walleye might take a notion to have a snack.  Good luck!

Around Town:  Quiet here in town this morning.  Once again hardly a car going up or down Highway 522.  You know that tells me folks are staying home enjoying their time with their families.  Seems like a modest thing one can do.  Don’t you think?  My family lives so far apart, makes it a bit hard to communicate, but when we do see each other we make up in the Hug department let me tell ya.

Below I have added a couple flyer’s which might be of interest to folks.  Especially those looking for groceries in our area.  Click Flyer to enlarge…

Also our Legion here in Port Loring, Branch 415 has a few happenings. Click to enlarge. 

So lots to take in here on the Blog this morning.  Enjoy your day, soak up some much needed Vitamin D, that our sun so gracefully gives us for free, sit back and take in what Nature has to offer. ‘No Doctors Needed.’   GW

Good morning.  Well nice Saturday morning here in Port Loring.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at; 13.4 C | 56.12 F.  Will warm up to about where it was yesterday a bit later.  Can’t beat the weather we are having now.  For most parts could stay like this all summer featuring on my wants.  Forecast for Port Loring today, with data taken from our very own weather station is saying it will be… Becoming fine as the day moves forward.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying the best times to be out there will be from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.

Bug Report:  Well Black Flies and Mosquitoes are out in full force to say the least.  Hard to get away from the Mosquitoes as they seem to like it anywhere.  Should have another couple weeks of the Black Flies and then they should be gone for the year.  Lets hope so any-ways.

News Around Town:  Quiet on this fine day.  Hardly a car moving up and down the highway.  Thinking everyone is sleeping in this morning.  Stores have been brisk with sales for most parts and should pick up even more as the tourists make their yearly transition to our area.  Cottages are being opened up for the year, along with day trippers on the rise.  Our store has been doing quite well this year with double the customers dropping in for a visit.  Good to see folks.  In our store this year we have a good quantity of new Native American Flutes and I am actually in the process of making a bunch more.  If your interested in buying a Flute drop by and I will give you a full demonstration on how they work.  Quite easy to learn actually.  Nice thing is, you don’t have to be able to read music to play them.  On another note my wife Ruth is steadily painting signs for folks with orders backing up.  Along with that she has her own paintings in the works and will soon be displaying numerous ones in our store for those that would like to purchase them.  Amazing artist this woman of mine. If you would like to see some of her work you can click the following link…. https://ruth-walters.squarespace.com/

Great web site to browse around when you have a few minutes to spare.  More will be added as time goes by.  So my friends, enjoy your day

Good morning. Well a bit cloudy this morning with temperatures sitting at                            10.4 C | 50.72 F.  Not too bad.  Forecast for Port Loring is calling for it to be Showery early, improving as the day moves forward.  Black flies are just starting but still quite good considering the time of year.  Been so cool and wet holding things back a bit.

On another note we had a friend drop by yesterday, letting us know we have another celebrity here in Port Loring.  She is registered as, Havenwoods Daisy Mare.   She is owned by one of our very own here in Port Loring…Carrie Rodgers.  Carrie and her husband Rob moved to our small community full time last year.  I have to tell you these folks have done wonders to the piece of property they bought on the corner of Duck Lake Road.  Great folks for sure and my wife and I are happy to have them as friends.  As it states in the magazine, Rhythm is a gorgeous Rocky Mountain Horse, and that she is.  We are privileged to have her as well as their owners living within our presence.  To enlarge click picture below.  See for yourself the true beauty of…..Rhythm.  Thinking I am going to have to plant a few extra carrots this spring.   Have a great day.  George W.
