Health Tip
I remember Laura the lady that raised me one time saying. “George, every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it!” So, in layman words, stop eating junk food and eat the food you are supposed to eat. She told me that over sixty years ago, and it is still being said today.
Garden Tip for Jan 25/2023
Over the years I have found, through trial an error, a few veggies that helps with memory loss, along with helping your brain wanting to learn more, which in turn makes you more healthy.
What would these veggies be?
Well, I’ll tell ya.
Tomatoes, Lots of Leafy Vegetables, like Lettuce of all kinds, Green and Yellow Bell Peppers, Sweet Potatoes mixed with Red Potatoes 50-50, Pumpkin Seeds and last but not least, Beets.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 27/2022
Good Morning!
It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, but the temperature isn’t that bad for this time of year, sitting at 2.9 C | 37.22 F. We could see a shower as the day progresses. The snow we did have is almost all gone, and once again I am seeing green when looking out of my living room window. As much as I know it will be short-lived, it is nice to see.
Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good today for those wanting to get a head start on their Christmas Shopping. Speaking of Christmas Shopping, I see there are a lot more people shopping online these days instead of going into the stores. In a lot of ways, I think it is a good way of purchasing the things you need. Especially if you live in a remote area like ours, where it takes a person an hour and a half to get to a store. Not to forget what gas costs these days. And another thing is that for a lot of things you order online, you get free shipping right to your door. I have also found that when you go to a store to buy, you have to take what they have, or do without. Online they have anything and everything, and before you buy, you can read the reviews on whether it is any good. I like that.
On another note, yesterday I worked in my woodworking shop on a few things. Got lots done. My lovely wife put up and made her decorations outside. She can make things out of nothing, that woman. Out front of the stores in town, they charge huge dollars for just a few branches taken from trees. Heck, I saw at Home Depot last week, they were selling 5 White Birch branches for $20.00. Kind of made me rub my whiskers a bit, wondering who would buy them. My wife … she simply walked around our property and came back with an arm full of what some would call weeds, put them together with some plants we have left in our gardens, and within an hour or so she has them all put together in pots sitting on our porches and hanging on our doors. And I have to tell you they look fantastic. But then again, she has designed homes, gardens and stores in Niagara for years, along with hundreds of window displays. It just comes natural to her.
With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal, and then I think I will write up a story or two, which in doing so will give my old bones a bit of a rest today. I have been hurting a bit lately.
Take care and stay safe.
In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.
Took Years To Find, But I…

Fall Crocus
We have two Fall Crocus that comes up every year at this time. I have to admit I enjoy seeing them. Thought I Would Share. Pretty Little Things. They last for a long time too.
Dandelion Roots
Yesterday I dug some Dandelion Roots for winter. The wife split them down the middle so they would dry better. We will then put them in mason jars for storage. We use them for all kinds of things. Very good for you health wise. and this is the time to dig them.
Thanksgiving Pumpkin
I picked the largest pumpkin we grew yesterday. She was a fair size. I will save the seeds for next year. Thought I would share. GW
Unexpected Guest
Hi folks. Looking out a couple days ago we saw an unexpected guest enjoying our apples on a tree out back of our home. He wasn’t a large one, but just the same we didn’t bother him. It looked as if he was sure enjoying them apples.
Thought I would share. The pictures aren’ t the greatest but it was the best I could get looking out window.
Flowers In Full Bloom
I took a couple pictures of some flowers in front of our house yesterday. The first one is called Helen’s Flowers or what I call Up Side Down Daisy’s. The second one is a Crocus.. Usually they come up in the spring but this one always comes up in the fall. Sure is pretty though.

Pumpkins 2022
I took a picture of some of my Pumpkins yesterday. My wife will use some of them for decoration on Thanksgiving, some we will sell and the rest will make some Pumpkin Pies. Although the ones in the pictures aren’t Pie Pumpkins. Pie pumpkins are much smaller. I will take a picture of them in a week or so as they aren’t quite ready yet.

Sunflower Showing Off
I took a couple pictures of one of our Sunflowers that I planted from seed earlier in the year. She is a large one, stands over 8 Feet Tall. I am thinking I will have to put a net over it shortly, or them pesky Blue Jays will clean up the seeds. I will keep an eye on it.
