Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning for a change here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a touch cool though with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 2.3 C | 36.14 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. Tomorrow things will begin to be more pleasant temperature and sun wise. But in saying that, the cooler temperatures have kept the black-flies and mosquitoes at bay. Which makes it nice for getting some of our outside work done up. Yesterday we got our mowing finished up in the morning, and then in the afternoon we installed some expensive sheets of plywood on our roof of our new building out back of our house, that we are building. We had a busy day but a good day. Today we will put on some trim around the window and door and a facer board. And then we will shingle the roof. That’s the plan. But you never know what a day has in store. On another note we did have a wee bit of frost last night, so I am happy I covered our vegetable plants that we planted a few days ago. Tonight I will do the same. After tonight the nighttime temperatures shouldn’t be a concern. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and maybe an English Muffin and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy damp rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 16.8 C | 62.24 F. Not to bad. If we are lucky we might have a wee bit of sunshine later on. But it is calling for more rain tomorrow. So …. knowing that, I guess I will be doing some inside work. Not that, that is a problem, as I have lots to do no matter what the day entails. Yesterday my lovely wife and I worked all day on our new shed out back we are building. We actually had a nice day and the black flies and mosquitoes weren’t all that bad. I have noticed the Dragon Flies are starting to make their appearance, which is a good thing, as they sure clean up them pesky blood sucking parasites. Nature taking care of Nature. Highway 522 is still busy with city folks coming into our area from all over, taking in what we have to offer. Good in one way, not so good in another way. LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, you just never know what a day might bring. Take care and stay safe, things are still quite bad out there virus wise.

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy, damp, cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 8.7 C | 47.66 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. The blackflies are still quite bad in certain areas, along with them pesky mosquitoes. Highway 522 is busy these days with lots of campers and things moving up and down the highway. Used to be … I could go to the Hardware store and know everyone that I happened upon. Nowadays, I don’t know half of them. Sign of the times I guess. Reason being, that a lot of people from the big cities are seeing the light, selling, and moving to the country, caused by this virus. I can’t say I blame them. It is also amazing how much the prices of homes have risen here in our area. Truth be told … it is getting hard to find properties for sale any more. Everything has been bought up. Even the vacant land is selling fast these days, with folks putting trailers and mobile homes on them. On another note, our firewood was delivered a couple of days ago, and my wife and I decided to get to work and pile it before it got wet with this rain we have been having. It got a wee bit wet on a few pieces, nothing to be concerned about. We had it all piled under our old lean-to in one and a half days. Not bad for an old feller and a hardworking woman. They call that Team Work! We do everything together. Today I might do some outside work if the weather clears and warms up some. I will see how that goes. This damp cool weather plays havoc on these old bones of mine. LOL But I keep moving. The worst thing us older folks can do is to sit and do nothing. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know what a day might bring ya. Take care and stay safe. Things are still quite bad out there. GW

Good Morning! It’s a rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. I suspect the showers will remain with us for most of the day. But in saying that … we do need it. Makes me smile as my lovely wife and I just finished planting our vegetable gardens, and they could use a nice drink to get them settled into their new home. Highway 522 is busy these days with folks moving into our area from all over. Kind of makes me wonder with this virus that is among us where some peoples minds are located. On another note, our firewood that we buy every spring arrived yesterday. Even with the heat I managed to pile half of it. Today we will finish it, as we can work under our lean too which should keep us dry for most parts. Once that is done we can get back to building our second lean-too out behind our house. We started building it a few days ago. So lots to do these days. I would also like to build a deck on our new cottage that we fixed up last year. It would be a nice place for our family and guests to sit on them warm summer days. But with the price of lumber these days I will have to give that some thought before I get all gun ho. LOL It’s amazing really two years ago you could buy a 4×8 sheet of 1/2 inch plywood for $22.00. Today it costs me $70.00. I am thinking there is a lot going on that we don’t know with these price increases these days. At any rate, not much we can do other than only buy what is absolutely necessary. So with that bit of information under your hat … I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. Even with these vaccines that a lot are getting, things aren’t very good at the moment. Some would like you to believe that, but it isn’t. It’s going to take time for things to improve. And just because some have had the vaccine, is no reason to ease up on the safety measures. The virus is still very deadly.
