Good morning.  Well shaping up to be a beauty of a day my friends. Temperatures waking up  were sitting at…15.5 C | 59.9 F. Will warm up some in a bit.

Forecast For Today:    Fairly fine, possible showers early.

Bug Report:   Other than a few mosquitoes and deer flies things are looking good.  At least now folks can get to doing what they enjoy amongst nature.  Great place to live or visit this time of year.

Fishing Times:   This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…8:00 AM – 10:30 AM then once again from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 this morning and a 3 fish rating for catching them out of 4 later on this afternoon.  Things are shaping up to be a great weekend for catching fish.  Good luck.

Around Town:   Not to much happening.  Farmers Market had it’s opening day.   We here at our small store had a great day with folks dropping by picking up items of choice.  Also noticed my flutes were selling quite well this year.  Early too, so that is a good sign of what is to come.  Right now we have a great selection of flutes and amongst them some wonderful sounding branch flutes, which are all one of a kind.  Amazing how beautiful they sound.  The nice thing is, that you don’t have to know how to read music to play the Native American Flute.  With in minutes one can make music that enhances ones most inner soul.  Also comes with full instructions, along with my expertise giving you a free lesson.  So my friends if your in need of some medicine that soothes the inner mind, drop by and take a look at what I have to offer. Of course we have lots of other items to choose from, the flutes are just the tip of the iceberg.   Have a great day.  GW

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.  Have a great day my friends.  GW

Good morning folks.  Well waking up to some rain here this morning.  Much needed though, as my tomatoes were in need of a drink, along with nature herself.  Temperatures are sitting at 18.3 C | 64.94 F.  Will stay that way pretty much throughout the day.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy, much rain enriching the soil as needed. Ending later on this evening.

Bug Reports:  Mosquitoes are in abundance this morning as they just love this kind of weather.  Rain doesn’t hold them back neither, as if out, they will hide in your clothing and come right back inside with with ya.  Went out twice so far this morning bringing one in each time, or so the wife says.

Fishing Times:  Haven’t been out yet myself this year, just been to busy.  But thinking it should be put up higher on the list of things to do in the coming days.  Got the old boat ready to go though, motor is running like a clock after its rest all winter long.  Washed the boat itself and looks pretty good, inviting you might say.  Any ways…for those wanting to do some fishing today in spite of the rain, the old weather stick says the best time to be out there will be from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.  Then one more time from 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Not the greatest day to be out there with the rain and all.  But there are those that, weather isn’t a factor.  Good luck.

Around Town:  For those wanting an exact reading on their hydro bills here in Port Loring & District this is the day to read your meter.  Just take a reading and call it in.  You have to specify that you want this reading, not an estimated one, as they have a tendency of sending out estimated bills.  No reason for it neither.  Only takes a second which eliminates the not knowing.    For myself things like that plays on my mind. Over the years I have found if something bugs me a touch, I fix it so it doesn’t…right away.  On another note, with the rain and all it’s a good day to go to town for some groceries or items of interest if your in need.  That way you are home here to enjoy the nice weather, which will be upon us come tomorrow.  I hate missing a day of sunshine sitting in a car.

Enjoy your day my friends.

Good morning.  Well not a bad day.  Woke up to temperatures sitting at…18.7 C | 65.66 F.  Cloudy though and will remain so throughout the day with a bit of sunshine later on. Might get some rain through the night.

Forecast For Today:   Unsettled, probably improving later on.

Bug Report: Mosquitoes are out there for sure, but Dragonflies are cleaning them up pretty good.  Great to see them rascals.  There are a few small blackflies out there biting folks too.  Had a few bite me on the legs yesterday while working in my shop.  Pretty itchy too and one has to refrain from scratching, or they just get worse.  Good test for ones constitution.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from12:00 PM – 3:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  So could just be your day for putting fish in the frying pan.  Good Luck.

Around Town: Not much happening in and around our district these days. Which in one way is a good thing, as that is what folks for most parts come here for….Quietness and Nature.  OK by me.  So my friends enjoy your day.  GW

Good morning. Well this morning the sun is trying to make an appearance. Temperatures waking up were a touch cool sitting at…12.8 C | 55.04 F.  Being so nice and cool one can sleep like a log. Perfect weather one could say.

Forecast For Today:    Showery early, improving throughout the day.

Bug Report:   Well the only culprit out there annoying folks are the mosquitoes.  Had a camp fire going last night and it was pretty hard to get away from them.  Needles to say we called it a night after dark.  But had fun just the same.

Fishing Times:    This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again from 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the morning;  and then a 2 fish rating for catching them in the evening.  Not the greatest day but one just never knows.  Good luck.

Around Town: Very quiet to say the least.  Tourists are waiting to make their appearance in quantity, till after the kids are out of school, which isn’t to far off.  Things should change then.  We have been quite busy this year with improving things around our property, along with adding new products to our small store.  Native American Flutes has been our biggest seller, along with our books this year so far. Wife’s signs for cottages and places also has done quite well, with her always having one or two on the go. But then what can I say….she is a great Artist and does them up well with all kinds of scenes, as she does with all her paintings.  We are in hopes of having a numerous number of her paintings, sketches and originals for sale later on in the summer.  We also changed our sign our front which reads Northern Pine Gallery Of Fine Arts.  Thought that was fitting, as we are surrounded by our huge red pines.  Lovely spot we have here, so if your in the area drop by.

Good morning folks.  Well a bit cool out there this morning but sure is pleasant weather for sleeping and working.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at…9.8 C | 49.64 F.  Will warm up some though as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:   Fairly fine, possible showers early.

Bug Report:   Well things in this department have slowed down some.  Makes it better when bugs and humans get along.  Mosquitoes are still here of course and will be for the rest of the summer. Horse and deerflies will be with us also.  But for most parts the blackflies have left us for another year.  With fishing season upon us, makes it more enjoyable being out with nature, without being pestered to much by these creatures of annoyance.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning things are looking up a touch.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  The old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there today will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Again a bit later from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.  Then one more time from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  Should be able to put some fish on the table for supper today I would think.  Good Luck!

Good morning.  Well a bit cooler this morning with temperatures sitting at…                    11.3 C | 52.34 F.  Forecast for today taken from our very own weather station is calling for it to be….Fairly fine, possible showers early then sunshine should be upon us with some warmer temperatures.

Bug Report:  Mosquitoes are still quite bad especially if near the bush. Yesterday with the wind and some sunshine they were held back from their feeding habits upon us humans.  Was OK with me as I had my mowing to do.

Around Town:   Well it is that time of year with the Argyle Fish Enhancement..24th Annual Poker Run closing in on us.  For all the information please click flyer below to enlarge.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to head on out and catch a few today the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from11:00 AM –  12:30 PM.  Then again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the morning and a 3 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the afternoon.  Good luck.

Bug Report:   Well I don’t think there is any place right now that is escaping the wrath of them mosquitoes.  Kind of makes me think that what they were saying earlier, that the cold spring will eliminate most of them this year is a bit off.   As I can’t rightly say I have ever seen them this bad in the 11 years that we have lived here in Port Loring.  So we have to take it one day at a time.  Lets hope that sun makes its appearance quickly today which will slow them down some.  Mosquitoes like dark and cloudy days.

Around Town:   Lost Channel Inn here in our area has lots happening.  I received a flyer yesterday to be put on the  Blog here for all to take a look at.  Click Flyers To Enlarge for better viewing, of all the information relating to what is happening at there establishment.

Well rainy old morning here in Port Loring Ontario.  But I have to say my gardens needed it. One can water themselves, but it can’t be done as good and thorough as Mother Nature. Thinking my tomatoes grew a foot overnight.  Grass has slowed down some which is OK by me.  But this rain will bring it back to growing for a bit. Temperatures this morning waking up are sitting at….18.5 C | 65.3 F.

Forecast: Stormy, much rain off and on throughout the day.  Things will improve overnight and into tomorrow, with the return of the sunshine.

Bug Report:  Well blackflies are pretty much gone other than a few stragglers hanging around bugging folks.  Mosquitoes now are another story.  Yesterday they were out proceeding the rain in swarms.  Just couldn’t get away from them.  Even my shop was full of them blood sucking parasites.  Had to put my vest on so they wouldn’t be able to bite me through my shirt.  Hoping this isn’t the trend all summer long.  Once the sun comes out it will slow them down some.  Horseflies are here but not biting too much as yet, but Deerflies are becoming irritating.   Joys of the north.

Fishing Times:  Well this morning one might need an umbrella if going out fishing.  The old weather stick is saying though that the best time to be out there will be from…9:30 AM – 2:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck!

Around Town:    Well not much happening other than voting day here in our small community with folks heading out to the polls, trying to get their favourite candidate into power.  Should be interesting, this time round I am thinking.

Our Farmers Market is about ready to gear up for the summer, you can click the flyer to enlarge below for all the dates of when it will be starting and things. It was delivered to me yesterday. Great place to shop with and pick up them items your in need of without heading on into the city.  Also one is supporting those that work so hard to bring fresh produce and other items to you in an old but stable, healthy atmosphere.  It’s folks like yourself that keeps them alive.  Have a great day my friends and should also mention that if you have anything that you would like to be known by the public, send it along to me in and E-Mail at [email protected] or stop by the house here or you can call me at 705-757-1640. I will gladly add it for all to see.

Good morning. Well another beauty of a day for sure.  Temperatures are sitting at…16.9 C | 62.42 F.  Will warm up even more as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Port Loring:  Changeable, mending.  Great day for sure.

Bug Report:  Blackflies are gone to some extent with only a few around.  Cooler weather fixed them.  Hoping they don’t make a come back.  But the worst is over.  Mosquitoes though are another story.  They are onto pestering folks to great extents.  But one has to learn not to put all those chemicals on ones skin as it draws them like a bee to honey.  Truth be known the chemicals that one puts on the body is far worse than the mosquitoes bite in itself.  But hey who am I?

Fishing Times:  For those wanting to do some fishing today the old weather stick along with my grandfathers formula is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM. Then once again from 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating for catching them in the earlier part of the day and a 4 out of 4 rating later on.  Should be a great day for jerking lips.  Good Luck!
