Morning Report Sep 28/19

Cloudy wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. It kind of looks like it will remain cloudy for most the day. We could see a wee bit of sunshine tomorrow, but then back to rain for Monday and Tuesday. Turning out to be a wet Fall for sure. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 13.5 C | 56.3 F. It will warm up a touch later on. On another note the leaves are sure changing fast and in some areas they have dropped over half. In other areas they are in their peak. Too bad we have had so much gloomy weather. What we need is lots of sunshine for them to show off all their colours. Today I am going to take it a bit easy, maybe write up a story or two. A feller has to have one day off now and then. LOL With that I am off for my morning tea with my lovely wife and will let the day unfold around me.

Cool morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. At the moment it is cloudy. We could see a wee bit of sunshine off and on throughout the day. Later on more rain is in the forecast which will continue on into the night. Just what we need. Temperatures were sitting at 10.2 C | 50.36 F. Once again we had to turn the oil furnace on to warm things up. Seems the older I get the more the cold bothers me. Won’t be long I will have to put on the Long Handles. LOL Thinking back my old Dad would put them on about now and not take them off till it warmed up next spring. With that I am off to bug my lovely wife, and enjoy my morning cup of tea and will see what mischief I can get into. GW

It’s not too bad a morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is out, and at the time of this post temperatures were sitting at 11.2 C | 52.16 F. It will warm up some as the day progresses. We could see a shower or two later on today, tonight and into tomorrow. Let’s hope the sun stays with us, as we deserve it. Today I will finish up some painting around the place and then if the sun stays with us maybe do some front porch sittin’ and chat to my lovely wife. We keep on saying we are going to but never seem to find time. And when we do find time it is either raining, cold or too many bugs pestering us. Joys of living in the country. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and will let the day do as it wants. GW

Cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. They are calling for some showers throughout the day. It’s possible we might see some more rain tomorrow. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 14.8 C | 58.64 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Yesterday I finished up one painting job in the house here only to start another. Amazing how the mind thinks. At any rate I will work on it later on as I have some shop work to do. On another note the vegetable garden is slowly coming to an end. Tomatoes are about had it with just a few yet to ripen. We are sure going to miss fresh veggies every day. I did plant some lettuce and spinach a couple weeks ago it is coming up so … if the weather stays a bit warm we might have a few feeds from it. Our Black berries are doing well this year we have had a few bowls full so far and more ripening every day. They sure are tasty and so good for you too. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will see what the day has in store for us other than what we planned. GW

For a change we are having some sunny warm weather here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures at time of post was sitting at 15.3 C | 59.54 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Today I am making some ointments using plants that we have around our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to say we have over a hundred or more that has some great health related properties. Takes a bit of doing but come winter if an ailment happens upon us … we have some ammunition you could say to combat things. After that, I will finish up some of my painting. I hate being inside on days like this. With that I am off for a cup of tea and will see what mischief I can get myself into. We might even get some front porch sittin’ in later GW

Another cloudy rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures were sitting at 16.4 C | 61.52 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. Rain will be light throughout most the day. Wind Direction 327 deg | NNW. Tomorrow we should see some sunshine but the rest of the week showers will be with us off and on. Not so good weather for working outside these days. Let’s hope things clear up some, so we can enjoy all the colours of Fall. Today I have some more painting to do inside the house here, so that will keep me busy. Then I will see about making a loaf of bread. I have to admit I enjoy experimenting with new bread recipes. Some work some don’t. LOL But no matter, the bread I make is much healthier than store bought. Although … no bread is really that good for you as it is mostly all sugar. What can you do? Moderation I suppose is the key. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Then I will let the day unfold around us. GW

It’s a really nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Sun is shinning and temperatures waking up were sitting at 15C/58F. If I had to pick the nicest day of the year, today would be the day. Last night we even slept with the windows open, and getting out of bed we didn’t need to turn the oil furnace on to get warm. Tonight and into tomorrow, and Monday is another story, with rain and a possible thunderstorm will be in our area. Long range forecast will be pretty good too with lots of sunshine. So … hey, great weather to do just about anything outside. Today my wife and I will be busy and then this afternoon we will do some front porch sittin’. Just because we can. There won’t be many more days we will be able to sit outside. Unless you have your long-handles on and a heavy coat. So with that information under your hat I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife and will let the day unfold around us. GW

Turned out great as you can see in the pictures I added yesterday. Today I will clean up my shop as I sure messed things up. But that is what a woodworking shop is all about. Pretty hard to do any work and not make a mess. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will see what the day has in store. GW

Nice looking day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. For a change we have sunshine, which makes things just that much better. It will cloud over a bit later. Temperatures were sitting at 14.2 C | 57.56 F. It will warm up considerably as the day progresses. Hard to beat this weather. It is a touch windy but that is what Nature is all about, as she eliminates the leaves from the trees and removes the dead branches. Her way of cleaning things up. At least on her part. For us humans we then have to pick up her mess. LOL Yesterday I worked on the old Mill my wife and I created years ago. Bringing it back to life. It’s just about finished and will then position it out near the end of our driveway for all to see. Looks pretty nice if I do say so myself. I will take a picture of it and add it to the blog once all set up. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and will see how the day progresses. GW

Fixing up our old mill I made years ago. Seems time takes a toll on things. Nothing is nicer for me than to make something out of wood that most throws away. It’s nice to be outside not being bothered by bugs, weather, or ? With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and will let the day play out as it is planned. One just never knows. GW

Another really nice day shaping up for us here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The sun is shinning with hardly a cloud in the sky. Temperatures were a bit cool through the night which made it nice for sleeping. Today we will see lots of sunshine and it will continue throughout the week. I am thinking it will be the best week of the year and quite possible the last real nice week of the year. We will still get some nice weather just not as warm. I am happy I got my firewood in where it is warm and dry, along with my boat being put to bed for winter. I still have some gardens to till once I get my manure and leaves spread on top. Makes for a real nice garden next year. Not much traffic going by our house these days other than the locals. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will let the day unfold around me.

It will warm up considerably as the day moves forward. The whole week is looking good as well. Not too much traffic around town for the past couple days. Most folks have or is closing up their cottages for winter and the locals are getting prepared for what’s to come. In some ways I don’t mind, in others I do. Relating to the cold. Seems the old body doesn’t like it as much as it used to. But that is what a Furnace, be it wood, oil or propane is for. Just heat isn’t cheap in our area. Not complaining mind you.

It will warm up as the day moves forward. Rain will continue till Thursday. Then more rain or a thunderstorm on Friday. Crazy weather for sure. On the good side of the coin we did get all our firewood in while it was nice and dry. Not that it matters, as my wood is stored outside under a lean-to which I built fifteen years ago. Best move I ever made. But hauling it around on wet grass isn’t fun and makes a mess. Yesterday and the day before was perfect weather for getting it done. Nice to see it all piled high and dry in the basement. Today I will do a bit more painting inside the house as my lovely wife would like one of our doors painted. Then I might write up a story or two if the light of ideas strikes me. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and a bite to eat, and will let the day unfold around me. Have a great day!

Tonight shouldn’t be as cold and the rest of the week should warm up. I did cover a few things in my vegetable garden last night, which was a good thing as we did have frost, but hardly any close to the ground. But I am glad I did, as I do have some plants that grow high in nature. Yesterday we started bringing in our firewood for winter and today should finish it. Makes me smile when it is all in piled high and dry. The main elements in life are: Water, Heat and Food. With them we can survive quite nicely. I have always made sure our cupboards were full come winter and enough fuel to keep us warm. Luckily so far water is not an issue, at least not in our area.
