One again, it is a cool morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. This morning temperatures were sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. 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. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and then will let the day do what it is going to do. Have a great day!

Today fishing won’t be the greatest. I give it a 1-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. If the winds shift to the South or the West and temperatures warm up, things will improve which I suspect will happen near the middle of the week. Good Luck and Stay Safe.

Nice morning here waking up in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It is a touch cool with temperatures sitting at 7.8 C | 46.04 F. Tonight it will get down to 3 C/38 F. We could see some frost. Sign of the times I suppose. Yesterday I got a lot done around the place here, putting the old boat to bed for winter, cleaning up some gardens and also managed to almost finish painting the inside of the back porch. Now it is time to fix my old mower which I was planning on doing yesterday but didn’t get to it. Make plans but never plan the results. Then I guess we will be putting in firewood for winter. Takes us around two or three days, but when done it will keep our house warm for most the winter. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and then will see what develops. Have a great day!

Sad in one way but not so sad in another. It sure is pretty out there on the water at this time of year with the leaves starting to change. Good Luck and stay safe.

It looks like a really nice day here waking up in Port Loring Ontario Canada. The sun is shinning, hardly any wind to speak off, no bugs of any amount, what could be better. Temperatures getting out of bed were sitting at 10C/49F. It will warm up a touch and there is a chance of some showers entering into the picture later on in the day. Not that we need any more. Today I will finish up my painting and then get to fixing my old riding mower one of my wheels came off the deck. I guess I can’t complain it is over 30 years old. Still runs like a top though. With that I am off for my cup of green tea and then will let the day unfold around me. Have a great day!

It’s a cloudy morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. By the looks of the sky in the west we are in for some rain, as it is black. I suspect showers off and on throughout the day. Temperatures through the night were cool which made it nice for sleeping. This morning they are sitting at 10.8 C | 51.44 F. Not to bad. Yesterday I manged to mow the grass around our property and then in the afternoon went fishing with my fishing buddy Barry. It was a fantastic day on the water, and we did catch a few for supper. Mostly small mouth bass. I did miss netting a huge pike that got unhooked right up side of the boat. They are crafty let me tell you. You never want to think you have them for certain until they are in the boat. Today I have some repair work to do on my old mower and then will see what the day has in store. You never know.

Nice looking day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning which makes things that much better. Temperatures were a bit cool getting out of bed 8.4 C | 47.12 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. We did have to put the oil furnace on for a wee bit this morning to take the dampness out of the house. Nice to have these things. Some take them for granted but when you’re without you soon learn to appreciate them. I sometimes think we all should be in need once in a while, if for nothing else to keep things in perspective. Today I have some mowing to do which should keep my lovely wife and I busy for most the day. Then I will finish up my painting on the outside of our porch. Rain held me back a bit. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Have a great day.

Another cloudy day here waking up in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We should see some sunshine a bit later. Not as cold with temperatures sitting at 11 C/51F. But you sure can see things are changing with the leaves turning colour and falling. Just certain trees take on colour, then they all follow suit, so to speak. It’s a nice time of year, but a sad time too, as we all know what lies ahead. Such is life. Today I will work away on my painting the inside of my back porch. That should take up most of the day. Our vegetable gardens are winding down but the tomatoes are ripening every day. My wife freezes them as they ripen, which makes for some nice eating later on when they aren’t available. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and will see what the day has in store, other than work.

Cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada, with cloudy skies and showers. There also is quite a breeze which makes things feel that much colder. I stared my furnace this morning to take the dampness out of the house. It won’t be long and it will be running daily I am thinking. Leaves are dropping now all around my shop. Today I will get to work painting my back porch. Since the weather isn’t the greatest I will paint the inside. I am hoping we have some more nice warm weather to finish the outside work. I am sure there will be. With that I am off for a cup of tea and a bite to eat.

Cloudy morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. A touch cool but nice. I was hoping to get into some painting done, now I have my back porch all scraped and ready. But it is looking like we might get some rain later on this afternoon and into tomorrow. So …. I guess I will put it on hold till some better weather arrives. Our vegetable garden is liking the rain, which is a good thing, I suppose. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and will see what the day has in store.

Everything points to a not so good day for fishing, but I got a sneaking suspicion that it might be okay for catching a few. Especially with rain heading our way later on in the day. I should only give it a 1-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few but I will give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5. We will see how that pans out. Good Luck and Stay Safe.
Cool September morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures were sitting at 5.8 C | 42.44 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. We could see a few showers late in the day tomorrow. On a good note the sun is shinning. Today I will continue on with some painting around the outside of the house. Great time to be doing it with no bugs to pester me and not too hot. It will also make for a warmer house come winter. With that I am off for a cup of tea and then will see what happens. Truth be known one just never knows what a day brings. Make plans but the results are not always as expected.

Another really nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The sun is shinning, not to hot, just right, what could be better? Temperatures waking up were sitting at 13.6 C | 56.48 F. Seasons are changing. More leaves on the trees every day are dropping and turning colour. By the looks of things we might be in for an early winter. But you never know what Mother Natures has up her sleave. Today I will do some scraping around the windows in the back porch getting it ready for some fresh paint. Then in the afternoon I might just do some front porch sittin’ with my lovely wife. Rough life huh? With that I am off for a cup of Green Tea and will let the day unfold around me.

It’s a really nice morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Sun is shinning and temperatures were sitting at 11.9 C | 53.42 F. The long weekend is looking good. On another note we did have a great rain through the night. My garden is smiling. You can water all you want but Mother Nature has her own way of doing things. Yesterday I managed to get my shop cleaned up. It was in dire need after all the things I have been doing through the summer. It will be nice to move around in there now come winter. Today I will work up my vegetable garden a bit and plant some lettuce. What I did have is all but gone now. If I plant it now we will have fresh lettuce in about two to three weeks, which should last till Fall. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and some bacon and eggs. That should get me motivated. Then will see what the day has in store.

Not to bad, of a day waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. At the moment we are all clouds, but we should see some sunshine as the day progresses. Tonight we will have some more rain and maybe a shower or two tomorrow. But for most parts some really nice weather. Temperatures were sitting at 14.8 C | 58.64 F. It will warm up in a bit. On another note my wife and I took a drive to North Bay yesterday for some supplies, and while there we met our son and had lunch with him. It’s always nice to see him. After that we picked up some items and groceries and arrived back home around 5:30 PM. Long day. You can say what you want, but going to North Bay from Port Loring when all said and done, the day is shot. Along the way we noticed the trees are turning colours. In some areas I would say they are 20% Changed already. Nature is ready for a rest this year I am thinking. Maybe it is trying to tell us something, like maybe we had better get prepared? With that I am off for my breakfast and a cup of coffee with my lovely wife. I then will see what mischief I can get into, or so the wife says. Have a great day.

This morning fishing should be fair. The winds are coming in from the North West. If it changes more to the west things will improve and it could be a pretty good evening fish. I give it a 4-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck and Stay Safe.
We finally got a bit of rain we were in need of here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Not as much as I would have liked, but a little is better than nothing. The trees and things were in dire need of a drink. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 17.2 C | 62.96 F. It is possible we might see a shower throughout the day. But for most parts the sun and a few clouds will be upon us. The long weekend is looking mighty fine. Hard to believe we are coming into September already. Today I will do some work in my gardens, maybe plant a bit more lettuce as what I planted in the spring is about had it. But we still have lots of blackberries just starting and zucchini is producing leaps and bounds. Our small store has seen a steady stream of customers this summer, which keeps my wife busy. With that I am off for some breakfast and then I will have a cup of coffee on the front porch with my lovely wife.

We are waking up to some showers here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures are sitting at 16.7 C | 62.06 F. Things will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. But not as warm as it was yesterday. The rain will continue off and on for most of the day and into tonight. We are sure in need of a good rain as things are really dry. Nature looks after its own at her time, not ours. Today I will do some writing, I have some ideas for a couple stories. That should keep me busy for most the day. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and some breakfast. Pancakes is on the menu this morning.

It sure is nice getting up to days like this. The sun is shinning, a light breeze and really nice temperatures. Makes a fellow feel alive and wanting to do things outside. If nothing else, but sit on the front porch and breath in the fresh air and take in what Nature has to offer. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 16 C | 60.8 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. Tonight and into tomorrow we should see some much-needed rain. It’s so dry the cows in our area are giving powdered milk. Today I think I will clean up my messy shop. Never ceases to amaze me just how messy I can be. Meaning, not putting things back in their place. But that is why I get so much done I am thinking. The good part is that no matter what I am looking for I seem to know exactly where things are. Amazing. With that I am off for a bite to eat and maybe a cup of coffee. Have a good one.

Once again it won’t be the greatest day for fishing. We need the winds to switch from the S West to the West. When that happens things will improve. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. One last thing. If you have any pictures of your catch send them along and I will post them. In Closing, I would like to wish you well.
What can I say? Other than another great looking day. Temperatures did get a wee bit cooler last night. But it is a sign of what lies ahead. Waking up they were sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F. Nice day to do just about anything a person wants to do. Winds are light coming in from the North East. Today I will do some front porch sitting with my lovely wife for a bit, then maybe I will see about washing the car. If the urge keeps on going, I might even put a coat of wax on the old feller. My wife named our car, Chase. Actually years ago most farmers named their implements, tractors and of course their horses. Just a natural thing to do. Today they kind of frown at you. To each, their own, I say. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store for me on her terms. A person can make plans, but you can’t plan the results.

The winds are light coming in from the North West. Yesterday my wife and I did manage to get the lawn cut, install a new chimney top, and clean up the inside pipes and chimney. So we should be good to go when the cold temperatures ease their way into our area. Not that I am looking forward to the colder weather, seems every year it takes a toll on this old body of mine.
