Good Morning! Sorry for not posting any information here on my Blog for the past few days. I have had some issues’ health wise. In the hospital and now back home. Nothing to do with the virus. Just some other ongoing things, that we hope are under control.

Starting things off, it is a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperatures have been actually pretty nice for this time of year. Waking up, it was sitting at 14.6 C | 58.28 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 isn’t as busy as it was other years, but that is to be expected with the weather we have been having along with the gas prices and other things that are happening in our country. I suspect though it will pick up in with June in our midst. The Black flies are still with us and the mosquitoes have made their appearance. We have to shake ourselves off before entering the house or … we are in for some swatting later on in the evening hours when trying to sleep.

On another note, I haven’t been busy doing much around the house here these days with not being well, but I hope things get back to normal in the coming days. We did manage to get our vegetable garden planted beforehand, though, which is a good thing. It’s nice to be able to look outside and watch things grow, especially things that you can bring in to the table.

With that, my friends, I am off for a bowl of cereal. I just put my pillows out on the front porch chairs, so I am thinking that will be where I will be residing for a few days. In Closing!

I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning. We are having some sunshine this morning, but it is a bit cool with the temperature waking up sitting at …. 9.9 C | 49.82 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. So all in all, everyone in our area had a pretty good long weekend, weather wise. Now in Niagara it’s a different story with a lot of high winds and things which caused all kinds of issues. Highway 522 is slow this morning, but it will pick up as the day moves forward. Yesterday I worked most of the day in my woodworking shop fixing a few things. Today I will do the same.

On another note, our garlic is sure growing this year. It is up almost two feet at the moment and looking good. I did plant my pumpkins yesterday outside, but I covered them up before going to bed just in case of a frost. We didn’t have any, but it did get down close to where we could have. It’s a hard year to figure out when to plant things as the nights are staying quite cool. I am thinking by the looks of things we won’t get all our vegetables planted till late in the week. I am keeping a close eye on things.

With that I am off for some Pancakes … that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store. I am looking forward to some of Mikes Maple Syrup, It is gooooood! Why not pick up a jug or two. He won the award for … The Worlds Best. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We will also be having some showers off and on this morning. If we are lucky, we might see some sunshine tomorrow. But cooler temperatures will be upon us for most of next week. Along with some more rain off and on. So it’s going to be kind of a mixed bag of weather for a few days. Highway 522 is getting busy. I got up through the night and cars with boats along with campers were going up and down the highway at 2:00 AM. It’s a sign of what’s to come.

On another note, the Blackflies are still annoying, but not as bad as other years. And … yes, the Mosquitoes have started to make themselves noticed. All this damp, warm weather gets them to moving around.

Yesterday I worked away in my old woodworking shop for a bit. Fixed up my old rototiller a bit more and worked in my vegetable garden getting it ready to plant. I will probably do that the middle of the week, as that is when the nighttime temperatures are looking pretty good. I like it to stay around the 50 F mark at nights before I plant. The old saying when I was farming many years ago. Don’t plant till after the 24th of May. I can still hear my old Dad saying that.

With that bit of info under your hat, that is if you wear a hat, I am off for coffee and piece of toast this morning. I don’t feel all that hungry. Have a great day and stay safe. There is still a lot of sickness in our area these days. GW

Starting things off, it is cloudy here in Port Loring, Ontario. We should however see some sunshine as the day progresses, and then rain for tomorrow. But Monday isn’t looking all that bad. So weather wise, things are shaping up for a not too bad Long Weekend. We did have a nice rain through the night, with lots of thunder and lightning. Things could have been a lot worse as they said we could have had a tornado along with large hail. So all in all, we made out pretty good. Highway 522 is getting busier every day. Yesterday I had to go pick up a belt at Mikes here in town. I decided to go for a walk and I had to wait for all the cars, campers and trucks, so I could get across the highway. Sign of how things are changing these days.

On another note, I did get my parts for my fifty-year-old rototiller, so going to see if I can put it back together this morning. It is a good old machine, but hard to get parts for nowadays. I can’t complain, mind ya, as I haven’t had to do hardly any maintenance on it for as long as I have owned it. Something like my old Roper Riding Mower. Ha Ha. I have to say, it turns heads when folks see me mowing with it.

On another note, I got my potatoes planted yesterday, which should give us a few nice meals later on this summer. My garlic is also growing leaps and bounds too. The best I have ever grown, thanks to my friend Archie. Sometimes a feller has to take some advice from others. I also got my vegetable garden in shape for planting. I will get at that in three or four days. Just waiting to make sure there isn’t going to be any more frost at nights.

So with that I am off for a bagel with some Dandelion Jam my lovely wife made for me yesterday and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. You never know. Stay safe, still lots of folks sick here in town.

Good Morning. It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. However, we could see a thunderstorm later on today. The reason being it will become quite hot as the day moves forward, which will bring in rain. The long weekend other than Monday isn’t looking all that good weather wise, with more rain in the forecast. In my eyes, we here in Canada should have stayed the same as the USA with the Holiday being next weekend. That way, it would be a bit later when the weather is nicer. And the tourists in the USA would be off work the same time we are. But that is what our government is all about … messing up things.

Highway 522 is still quiet these days, with a lot of folks staying home with the gas prices being so high, along with our economy getting worse every day. We spend billions giving it to other countries when we should be looking after our own here at home. You know … let’s take the USA & Canada if they would take the billions that they are sending over to other countries and put it into, let’s say … finding a cure for cancer … cancer would be a thing of the past within a few years. I don’t for the life of me see what their thinking is. Like the wars and things. It isn’t the people themselves that want war, it is simply a certain number of so-called power hungry, big shots trying to force their beliefs on others. What a shame that is. Makes me sick thinking about it. I can see, in a few years, the people themselves eventually rebelling and getting rid of all governments as they stand today. Might not be in my time as I am getting up there in years, but it is coming, mark my words. People have had enough and when they themselves can’t take any more something is going to happen.

Anyway, that’s my rant for the day. I am going for a cup of coffee. Heck of a way to start the day. Stay safe.

Oh, the blackflies are still with us, but the mosquitoes haven’t made an appearance as yet. Another Parasite we could do without. GW
