Good Morning! It’s a rainy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. We did have some icy conditions throughout the night. At the moment, the ice has changed to rain, so the highways should be pretty good in another couple hours. Other than being wet. But Care should be taken if out and about. The temperature is above the freezing mark, sitting at 3.8 C | 38.84 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day moves forward.

Yesterday I worked once again steadily in our small gift shop. I finished up my painting and things, and now it’s up to my lovely wife to situate things. We did have a lot of items left from two years ago before this virus hit, so that will help us out for a while. I also have another thirty Flutes in the works, so I will get them finished up in a couple of weeks. Which will give us a good showing. Along with all them, we also have our 7 books on display for sale, along with lots of paintings and cards that my lovely wife has done up. So … all in all, we will have a lot to offer this year.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. You never know, these days. Take care, and stay safe. Without the masks, this virus will be infecting a lot more people. It should be also noted that they aren’t truthfully telling us any more of how many are being infected, or how many are dying. It’s a shame too, as we do have the right to know, as with knowing some might take more precautions. The ones that don’t care, will only come to realize what is going on … when it strikes close to home. Which it will eventually.

It’s a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. And by the looks of things we could see some not so good weather later on today and through the night. Depends on which way the storm tracks. Highway 522 is bare and dry as of now, but that could change later on.

On another note, yesterday I painted steadily all day in our small gift shop and other than a few touch up spots it should be finished and ready for my lovely wife to decorate, and once that is finished we will start stocking it. We have lots of neat things from our old store sitting upstairs waiting. This will be the first time in two years we have been open, thanks to the virus. It will be nice to see some of our old friends that usually drop by for a visit throughout the summer months. That is, if they haven’t forgotten about us. Ha Ha.

With that I am off for a boiled egg this morning and a piece of toast and I think we will have a cup of coffee too for a change. We usually have coffee around 2:00 in the afternoon. Hmm, maybe we will have a couple cups today. They say coffee in moderation is good for your health. Which I suspect is right. Take care and stay safe. GW

It’s another sunny day here in Northern Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at -5.7 C | 21.74 F. a touch cool, but it will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which will make travelling good today for those having to go anywhere.

Our snow is about 3/4 gone, and we should lose a lot more as the day progresses, as the temperatures will remain well above the freezing mark. After today, we will be returning to a mixed bag of weather for a few days. Which is to expected being spring and all.

Yesterday I painted trim all day and today will do the same. Our small gift shop is coming along, all’s it takes is time. Which is okay with me. We also had our coffee in the sunshine on our front porch. What could be better than that. Coffee, good company and taking in what Mother Nature has to offer. Not much else happening in and around our small community.

With that, I am off for some waffles this morning that my lovely wife is making for me. They sure are tasty. Have a great day and take extra precautions, as with the masks coming off, you have more chances of catching things, which people are going to find out. GW

It is a touch cool this morning, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -2.9 C | 26.78 F. Maybe I should rephrase that. It’s cold. Highway 522 is bare and dry. We also woke up to some sunshine, which is sure nice to see. Things will warm up well above the freezing mark again today.

Yesterday, my lovely wife and I did some front porch sittin’ for the first time this year. The wind was coming from the North, so with our front porch being on the south side of the house, it was quite nice out there. It sure felt good. I am thinking we will be able to get out again today by the looks of things.

We also worked away on our small gift shop once again, and now I have to get myself in painting mode for a few days, so it will be ready for my wife to decorate and situate our products. It should be nice when all said and done.

With that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my wife is making for me and will then get to work. Stay safe. This virus is still with us, it hasn’t gone anywhere. GW

Starting things off, it is a cloudy morning once again here in Northern Ontario. It is a touch cool with the temperature sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Which will get rid of a lot more snow. We have lost over half of what we had. In the bush around the trees, we are now seeing green once again. Which is a sign that the trees are starting to move their sap up through their branches. Won’t be long, and we will start to see buds. Can’t wait. Highway 522 is bare and wet with all the rain we had yesterday. But travelling will be good for those wanting to go anywhere.

On another note, I worked away writing up a story yesterday, along with helping my wife a bit. Things are coming along with getting our small gift shop in order. Won’t be long, and we will give it a fresh coat of paint. Then after that the little woman will be busy decorating it. Which she is good at, as she has been designing stores and homes for years. Woman of many talents.

So with that I am off for a bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Not sure what I will be up to today. Have a great day. It won’t be long before the warm weather is upon us.
