Spot for you to do some reading on gardening and staying healthy. Also a great place to put your feet up and relax for a bit.

Happenings In and Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Not to bad a looking day out there this morning.  A bit cloudy. Temperatures will warm up some in a bit.  Waking up we were sitting at 12.9 C | 55.22 F.

Forecast For Today.  Changeable, mending this afternoon.  Temperatures will rise to near 23 C/71 F.  Good looking day shaping up and will  be nice for tomorrow.

Bug Report:  Blackflies are on their last legs for this season.  Few still bothering folks in certain areas. Mosquitoes are the worst of it all right now. Horse flies and deer flies now entering into the picture too.  They can make a person irritable also.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry with a few deer, moose and turtles venturing out upon it. Care should be taken if out and about.  Seen a few of each yesterday heading into Sundridge.  Other than that travelling will be good.

Fishing Report:  This morning the old weather stick is saying the best times to be out there with pole in hand will be from 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then once again from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Winds this morning are very calm coming in from the South South East.  Good Luck!

Around Town. Nothing much to speak of this morning.  Gardens need a bit of hoeing these days.  Tomatoes should be hilled  up with a touch of fertilizer to help them a bit.  With that tea time here orange pekoe with a touch of fresh dandelion is on the menu for this fine Wednesday morning.  Have a great day, make it a good day.  You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Happenings In And Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Cool morning starting things off.  Temperatures were sitting at 7.1 C | 44.78 F.  Will warm up a touch a bit later as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:  Becoming fine..  Temperatures will remain pleasant, not to hot not to cold for most of next week.

Bug Report:  Mosquitoes are annoying folks a lot these days along with the blackflies.  One can’t be standing around for any length of time.  Hard to get away from the mosquitoes as they follow a person into the dwellings.  Blackflies like to reside outside if at all possible.  Couple more weeks and the worst should be over.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry through out.   Travelling couldn’t be better.

Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then again from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating for catching a few this morning and a 3 fish rating for catching a few this afternoon.  Winds this morning are once again calm coming in from the North North East.  The air is cool this morning, but the sun is nice.

Around Town:  Not  much to report here this morning.  Folks are sleeping in a bit as hardly a car moving up or down the highway.  That will change with more tourists moving into the area every day.  Gardens are looking good these days with plants growing leaps and bounds.  I suspect I should be eating lettuce in the next couple days. Garlic also is putting on a great show.  Up to a height of around15 inches.  Going to be a great crop this year.  Nothing more healthier than a piece of raw garlic every other day.  Don’t need to much as it has a lasting effect.  With that, tea time here.  Thinking an orange pekoe will taste good this morning.  Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

Frost Warning

Thought I would mention that we could experience an intense frost overnight and into the early morning hours here in Port Loring Ontario.  If you have any tender plants in your garden I would suggest you cover them.  Temperatures will fall below 0 Celsius  with clear skies.

Happenings In And Around Port Loring

Good Morning: Well still a bit cool here in Port Loring.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at 7.6 C | 45.68 F.  Will warm up some shortly.

Forecast For Today:  We will have some sunshine along with some clouds throughout most of the day.  There is a chance of a passing shower later on this afternoon and into tonight.

Bug Report:  Lots of blackflies in our area annoying folks which will last for a few more weeks.  Once the dragon flies make their appearance they will be quickly eliminated as the blackflies are their main source of food.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 from east to west is bare and dry.  Travelling is good.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then again later on this afternoon from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and 5 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon.  Great day to bring a few in.  Winds are calm this morning coming in from the South South West.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Few cars in our area but for most parts things are quiet.  Will pick up some with the American Holiday approaching.  Great to see our USA friends edging their way back into our area for the summer.  On another note I did get my gardens tilled up for the first time yesterday.  Looks good and once things warm up a touch at night, it will be a good growing season.  Nothing like fresh tilled soil to enlighten a feller.  Tea time here.  Orange Pekoe this morning with a touch of fresh dandelion roots taken from our yard earlier this morning.  Enjoy your day in ways that suits you best.   You can reach George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
