Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Another cold morning here in Port Loring.  Temperatures waking up once again was sitting at 3.3 C | 37.94 F.

Forecast For Today: Fairly fine, improving.  Things will start to warm up as the day progresses. Temperatures should rise to near 65 F / 17 C.  Tomorrow will be even warmer.  Lots of sunshine entering into the picture.

Bug Report:  Lots of blackflies showing off these days in certain areas.  Some areas are fairing quite well.  Seems nature is choosy this year.

Highway report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry from its source, east to west.  Travelling will be good for those venturing out to places of choice.  Great day for a days getaway.

Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.  Then once again a bit later from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 this morning for catching a few and a 3 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon.   Wind is coming in from the west north west at around 5 mph.  Cool breeze. Good Luck!

Around Town:  Things are quiet in our area.  Few more tourists entering into the picture.  Once things warm up a touch and we are finished with the blackflies things will pick up immensely.   Been a long cold winter and I as others are looking forward to a nice summer.  Gardens will be needing attention in the next few days and after tonight, night time temperatures should be warming up.  We did have a frost here  waking up this morning.  Took its toll on a few of my tulips.  But most native plants are used to what Mother Nature hands out.  So with that, tea time here.  English Breakfast is my choice this morning with a touch of turmeric. Great for any blood relating problems along with giving one strength for what lies ahead.  Enjoy your day by letting it happen.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town: Well with these cold temperatures upon us I am happy I got most of my outside work done up.  Now can sit back and enjoy the fruits of the vine so to speak.  Also glad I waited in my planting.  Thinking after the weekend would be a good time to plant the gardens.  Going to keep an eye on things.  Been a year of watching nature in hopes she reveals what she is going to do.    She has her own way of doing things in spite of us humans.  To her we are a speck of sand to be dealt with as she chooses.  So I am of for my morning tea.   Fresh Dandelion is on the menu for this morning.  Like to take advantage of the new growth.  Make it a good day.  You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Around Town:  Thinking this morning that I might just work up the vegetable garden so the soil can breath for a few days before planting.  Will see how things goes after my morning tea.  I in all honesty I never know where the day will bring me.  Seems I get started on one thing and off I go on another.  For years I questioned my agenda’s but today I just let things happen.  I believe that if a change is made without thought it is something that needs to happen.  If we interfere with this change it would be changing ones destiny.  We all have a path in life, it’s just that some choose the wrong ones.   Enjoy your day, stay safe.  You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Over the years I have found it doesn’t pay to get to carried away with planting early.  After the 24th and the full moon has served me well over the years and saved me a lot of work, grief and expense.  Tea time here.  Thinking dandelion freshly dug with a touch of English breakfast.  Good for what ails you in all avenues.  Have a great day.   You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
