Starting things off, it is a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. On the good side of things, the temperature is well above the freezing mark, sitting at 5.3 C | 41.54 F. And looking outside the snow is melting fast. If these temperatures keep up, which I think they will, the snow should be almost gone by the end of next week. Yesterday alone we lost a lot. Highway522 is bare and wet this morning, which will make travelling pretty good if you’re in need of some things in the big cities.

Yesterday I worked most of the day here on my computer, along with helping my lovely wife in her studio as she is remodelling. I understand, as I have to do the same in my woodworking shop every so often, with things all over the place.

Today I will do some more work here on my computer, writing up a story or two. Should keep me busy for most of the day. With that, have a great day. GW

It’s a bit foggy today here in Northern Ontario, Canada. The reason for that is, that some warmer temperatures are entering into the picture. You mix warm with cold, you get fog, to some degree. Highway 522 is bare throughout, which will make travelling good today. If lucky, we should see a wee bit of sunshine later on. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -0.1 C | 31.82 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day moves forward, causing a lot of melting. Which is okay with me.

On another note, I worked away bringing in a wee bit more firewood for my wood furnace yesterday, along with cleaning out the driveway. I didn’t really need to clean out the driveway, but I figured I needed to start getting this old body of mine in shape for what’s to come when things warm up. We also needed some more firewood to hold us over. With the price of gas and oil these days, I suspect it will be hard for those relying only on pensions to get by.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast, and will then see what the day has to offer, other than what I have planned. Life is a mystery, that’s for sure.

Have a great day!

It’s a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. And it is still quite cool with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -10.8 C | 12.56 F. But in saying that things will start to warm up a lot as the day moves forward, and we will be seeing a lot of melting for the next couple of weeks. Which is fine with me, as I am ready for summer and seeing green instead of white when I look out the window. It’s been a long winter. Highway 522 is bare, which will make things nice if you have to go anywhere.

And speaking of going anywhere. The price we are paying for lumber and gas in Canada is terrible, and there is no reason for it. Our government spent millions and more millions of taxpayers dollars, on a pipeline that they shut down, which would have supplied all we needed and then some. They say they want to go green, what a joke that is. We here in Canada are supposed to go green, but yet we supply other countries. Another joke. On the next bit we are supposed to be a peace keeping country we don’t fight, instead we supply other countries with all kinds of weapons, so they can fight. I shake my head in wonder where these so-called powers brains are. Well, I could tell you where … I think their heads are located, but I don’t think I need to.

Damn … what a way to start off a day, sheesh, I think I will go back to bed and get up again. Have a great day, If that is possible. GW

It’s a sunny morning here in Northern Ontario. However, it is still a touch cool with the temperature sitting at -8.9 C | 15.98 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward, and even warmer for tomorrow. And on Wednesday, what can I say, other than we will be well above the freezing mark. No need to go to Florida for March break with those temperatures. Ha Ha. Truth be told, I can’t see why anyone would want to travel yet anyway, with all that is going on in the world today. But hey! Who am I to judge. Highway 522 is mostly bare, but there are some snowy, icy sections throughout.

Yesterday we had another3-4 inches of new snow, but it won’t last long with the temperature on the upswing.

On another note, I didn’t do much yesterday, didn’t feel all that well. I have something going on with my one eye being red and damn sore, not sure what that is all about. Seems a wee bit better today. I told it if it doesn’t get better, I will have to give my doctor friend a call. That usually helps. Ha Ha. Always something these days. With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal this morning that my lovely wife is making me, and will then see if I can write up a story or two. Depends on how this old eye is doing. Have a great day.

So how you all doing on this fine Sunday Morning? Good I hope. However, in saying that it is cold outside, and we are having a wee bit of snow. Nothing to speak of as yet. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good if you’re in need of some things in the big cities. We are doing okay as my lovely wife and I went to town yesterday and picked up a few things which should hold us over for a couple of weeks or more.

It is nice to get away, but it is also nice to get back home. While there we said hello to our son for a minute as we are still taking precautions, had lunch in our car and headed on home. All in all, it was a great day, other than the cost of things. Seems, just two bags of groceries these days can run a feller around a $100.00 or more. And the price of gas sitting at $1.96 a Litter is sure eye-opening. Where it was costing us around $30.00 to go to North Bay and back home is now costing us around $50.00. Makes me shake my head on the way we are heading here in Canada these days.

Other than that, not much else happening in and around our community. Stay safe. GW
