Starting things off, our temperature sure dropped through the night. Waking up it was sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. We also had our second frost. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. The good news is we will see some sunshine today. Sunshine always makes the day just that much better. The gloomy days seem to make human minds wonder a bit. Highway 522 is picking up a bit traffic wise, with a few tourists not wanting to believe that winter is heading our way. I can’t say I blame them either. I know I’m not ready. I am however getting some of our outside work caught up which makes me smile. Today I will clean up the weeds in our vegetable gardens, and mow some grass that needs to be cut. For the past few days my wife and I have been working on our lean-to that we keep our wood in. It was leaning a bit too much, so we tied a rope and a winch to a tree and pulled it straight. Took some doing. Once we had that looked after we got busy and braced it a lot better than it was. Should be good now for another few years. I hope. The way I was health wise I didn’t think I would get it done. But a little at a time works.

My wife picked the last of our tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers late in the day yesterday. As they were calling for a heavy frost. We didn’t want to loose them as it will be awhile before we get any more good tasting produce. Although my wife did put a lot of tomatoes in the freezer this year. Which will sure be tasty later on this winter. The ones in the stores have no taste what’s so ever. If you didn’t see the tomato before you ate it, you wouldn’t even know they were tomatoes. Like a lot of other veggies too these days. People today go by looks not taste or smells. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see if that grass is dry enough to cut. Stay Safe.

It’s another cloudy wet morning here in Port Loring, We are having some light rain at the moment. In saying that the rain should ease off in a bit and if lucky we could see some sunshine. I hope so as I do have some things that need to be attended too outside. I have been doing a few things lately but have to take things easy. Least that is what my lovely wife keeps tellin’ me. Ha ha. Highway 522 is a wee busy these days, with a few people moving around. I see the price of gas has gone down a wee bit, which will let folks travel a bit more. But the cost of things doesn’t help that’s for sure. Groceries are taking the biggest toll on people these days.

The temperature waking up was a bit cool with it sitting at 8.4 C | 47.12 F.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe.

Its another cloudy morning here in Port Loring. But in saying that, we should see some sunshine later on. However … tomorrow things will start to cool down a lot. Sign of what’s to come. Highway 522 is quiet which is a norm for this time of year. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 15.9 C | 60.62 F.

On another note my wife and I had to go to Sundridge yesterday for an appointment. The trip there and back was pretty good. We noticed that the leaves on the trees were changing a lot, and I suspect we will be in the middle of our fall leaves in another week or so. Especially if things cools down. While there we picked up a few groceries, had our lunch in our car at a small park. You could call it going on a picnic. We usually buy some nice meat at a deli along with some old cheddar cheese, and a few kaiser buns. The wife then puts things together and we enjoy our surroundings with lots of chatting thrown in for good measure. We enjoy doing things like that, more so than going into a restaurant. A lot cheaper too.

After an hour or so we headed on home enjoying a cup of fresh perked coffee that my lovely wife made before we left. Great day for sure. But then again any day we are together is a great day.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see if I can get a few things done outside before the cold weather enters into the picture. Stay safe.

It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring. However we should see a bit of sunshine as the day moves forward. The temperatures aren’t all that bad with it sitting at 13.8 C | 56.84 F. It will warm up a bit later on. The good thing is we didn’t need to turn on our oil furnace. I do think though that the oil prices have dropped a wee bit. Which is a good thing, with winter edging into the picture. Highway 522 is still quiet these days. Hunters will be moving in shortly. One class of people moves out … another moves in. This kind of country is always changing. Something like our leaves are doing now.

Yesterday being that it rained off and on for most of the day, I worked on a Thanksgiving Podcast. It will be live in a few days. It will be my 101th episode. I am hoping for the winter I will be able to another every week or so. We will see how that turns out.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe.

It’s a cloudy noisy morning here in Port Loring. Overnight we had lots of heavy rain, along with major thunder and lightning. It woke me up a few times. And we just had another whopper of a storm go through a few minutes ago. But … we were in dire need of rain that’s for sure, as the trees and plants need it with their preparation for winter. Not that I am looking forward to that. Highway 522 is still very quiet these days. I am thinking that a lot of people are hurting financial. And I suspect it will get a lot worse in the months ahead. The reason being … we here in Canada are so overly taxed. When the people are being taxed more than they are making, not so good things begin to happen. Along with that though … I also believe that a lot of folks are, and have been living beyond their means. Feeding their wants instead of their needs. A lot have been led down a path making them believe that what ever the Powers That Be says … is right, when it is not. It;s kind of like what us old farmers did to our horses years ago. We put blinders on the side of their eyes so they couldn’t see what was going on around them.

On another note my wife and I had a nice weekend with our son coming for a visit. He stayed for the weekend heading back late in the day yesterday. While here he fixed all our technical things that needed fixing, along with us catching up on a lot of other things. It’s great to be able to get together again.

Today being that it is raining I will work away here on my computer, that is if the power stays on. It has been going off and on now for the past half hour or so. Since our Powers that be sold the largest part of Hydro One there has been more power outages than ever before. You know, I am beginning to think we all might be better fending for ourselves than have them run our country.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe, there is a lot of sickness out there these days since the masks were removed. Makes the Pharmaceutical companies happy.
