Good Morning!

Starting things off it is a rainy, windy cool morning here in Port Loring. Outside doesn’t look inviting one bit. But it is that time of year when you can expect just about anything. We could see some strong wind gusts of 70 to 90 km/h throughout the day, accompanied by some thunder and lightning. So all in all not that nice of a day. Highway 522 is or has been busy with lots of hunters moving into our area. Not so good news for the hunters, but good news for the critters. It seems nature has her ways of looking after their own occasionally.

On another note, my lovely wife and I did take a trip yesterday, taking in the leaves. I have to tell you they were sure nice. Couldn’t have picked a better day. Lots of sunshine along with the temperature being quite nice too. We took some pictures, stopping here and there, and then later on picked a nice spot overlooking a lake and enjoyed a danish and coffee that my wife brought along with us. We enjoy doing things like that. The only thing is we don’t do it enough.

With that I am off for some breakfast and will then see what the day has in store. Oh … I will post a few pictures here on my Blog a bit later that we took of the leaves yesterday. Have a great day.

It looks like a real nice day is shaping up for us here in Port Loring. It is cool with the temperature sitting at 0 C | 32 F getting out of bed. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. If you want to take in the colour of the leaves, today would be the day to do so. After today the weather is going to be rainy and cooler which will cause the leaves to drop. Highway 522 was busy yesterday with folks moving around trying to find things that were open. We had a few drops by our store. Today, my lovely wife and I will finish closing up our cottage, and might put in one more row of garlic. I did plant a few rows already, but I found some garlic I missed this summer, so I will plant it, better than just letting it go to waste. We did have a great crop this summer. Actually, everything grew well this year.

With that I am off for a bite to eat and will then see how I am feeling. I take things one day at a time these days. Enjoy your day.

Good Morning!

Starting things off, I hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving. We had our Turkey dinner on Saturday as our one son had to leave for home yesterday, so he would be back for work. He said the Highways weren’t all that bad till he hit the QEW. Other than that, he had a good trip up and back. Yesterday we took it easy chatting to our other son who is leaving today. All in all, we have had a great time.

On another note, it is a touch cool out there, waking up with the temperature sitting at -0.6 C | 30.92 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward with some sunshine, too. Which will make Thanksgiving Day quite nice. Highway 522 hasn’t been all that busy for the past couple days, but that is to be expected being a Holiday weekend. The leaves however are sure nice right now, and I am thinking we will be taking a drive to take some pictures in the coming days, before it’s too late. With this cold wet weather they have been dropping a lot. They sure look pretty right now though. Even nicer when the sun is shinning on them.

With that I am off for a cup of fresh perked coffee my lovely wife is making for us and will then have some sausage and eggs for a change. Occasionally we enjoy something different.

It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 2.4 C | 36.32 F. It will warm up a bit, but not much as the day moves forward. We are also having some rain, which will ease off after lunch. The long weekend isn’t looking all that good weather wise. But you never know, all we can do is hope for the best. We have our oldest son driving up from St Catharines for Thanksgiving and will go back home on Sunday. We were hoping for nice sunny weather, so they could take in the nice colours on their way up. It is also windy out, which is knocking down the leaves. I did get the mowing done yesterday, but with the leaves falling, you would never know I did it. Highway 522 is wet this morning and quiet. I suspect the highways will be busy today and into the night with folks travelling for Thanksgiving. We are still having a lot of hunters moving into our area, which will continue until the end of December, that’s when hunting season is over.

I also got our shower-house outside closed up for winter yesterday and will close up the cottage after Thanksgiving. After that, we should be all set for winter. I still have to move my snowblower to where I can get at it, but there is lots of time to do that.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then turn on some heat in our cottage, getting it nice and toasty in there for our son and his family.

Waking up, we are seeing a few clouds, but the sun is … trying to show itself. Yesterday was real nice, warm and lots of sunshine. With that said, we could see some rain this afternoon and into tomorrow. But it looks as if we will have some sunshine over Thanksgiving. The downside, it will be a bit cool after today. Highway 522 is bare and dry with lots of hunters moving into our area for the bear hunt. Actually, there has been a bear walking around our house now for the past few weeks in search of some of our apples. I posted a picture of his tracks in our vegetable garden at the top of the page.

On another note, my lovely wife and I did get a lot of outside work done yesterday. And now we are pretty well all set for winter, other than closing up our cottage and shower house. I am thinking I might turn off the water and put some more antifreeze in the toilet bowl as it is going to be well be low freezing tomorrow night. Today, I will mow our grass for the last time this year. As much as it is a lot of work, I will miss it. Being not well all summer, I missed out on a lot of the outside work. But the good thing is I am able to do some things now. So I have that to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

With that I am off for my breakfast and will then see if I can get our lawn cut.
