Good Morning! Once again, we are in the midst of some clouds here in Port Loring, Ontario. But the good news is, the temperature is still quite mild, sitting at 4.1 C | 39.38 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. If things goes to plan, we should see some sunshine tomorrow. Which would be nice. But no matter what way you look at things, our weather here in Port Loring is and has been exceptionally pleasant compared to other years, and we are coming into December. Highway 522 is quiet these days, which is a norm. At the moment it is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today. For my lovely wife and I, we wait for sunny days if we have to go to North Bay for groceries and things, as it makes the drive in just that much nicer. As many times as we have been to town, we never get tired of it, as it seems there is always something new to see. It’s as if Nature only wants us to see certain things at certain times. On another note, I finished up my painting in our back porch yesterday and got the weather stripping around the doors set into place. Today I am going to be working on a new story for my Newspaper Columns I write for, and if that goes well I will then get to working on another Podcast which comes out every Friday morning. And while talking about my Podcast, I would like to thank all those, once again, for letting me know how much they are enjoying my Podcasts. Also, I would like to mention I have had a problem with the Google Home Assistant relating to folks not being able to hear my Podcasts. But it is all fixed now. If you want to listen to my Podcasts on the Google Home now, as in the beginning. Just say!!! Hey Google, Play Just One More Story by George Walters and you should be all set. Not sure what went wrong, but they eventually fixed it. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of Oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a gloomy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. Overnight we did have some freezing rain but with the temperatures going to be well above freezing today, it won’t last long. Highway 522 is quiet these days and will remain that way till spring. It is also a bit slippery out there so care should be taken if out and about. Yesterday i did some painting in the house here and today I will be putting some weather stripping around the door in my back porch. So in other words just puttering around. In reality … not much happening in and around our small community these days. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care an stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -1.6 C | 29.12 F. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward. We could see some sunshine off and on today, but tonight freezing rain will enter into the picture, and the roads could become quite slippery. If it gets cold enough we could see some snow of maybe an inch or so. So to be sure we will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Either way, tomorrow won’t be the best of days for travelling. Highway 522 is slowing down traffic wise with hunting season about over. Yesterday i worked in our back porch making some new trim for around the door and windows. I also lit the wood stove in my old woodworking shop for the first time this year. Felt good too. I have been starting our-wood furnace in the house now for the past week. There is nothing like wood heat to take out the dampness in a person’s body and the house. The trick is not to get it to hot. But over the years we have learned how to make that happen. Today I will be doing a bit of painting on the new trim I made which will look after the day. With that I am off for some home made waffles with an egg on top, that my lovely wife is making, and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe, this virus is rising a bit every day. GW

Good Morning! It’s a bit cloudy this morning, and I suspect the clouds will remain with us for most of the day. It will still be above normal for our area temperature wise, but closing in on the weekend things will start to change, with colder weather entering into the picture and maybe even a bit of snow from time to time. But, it is crowding the middle of November. No one should complain about the weather so far this Fall. Heck, even the grass is still growing in our area, with a few dandelions hanging on. Which is okay with my lovely wife and I, as we make a tea from the leaves once or twice a week. Through the summer we use the roots that we dug, dried and stored away earlier in the year. Yesterday I finished up most of my yard work. With the weather being so nice, we got things done that we were going to do next year. We also had our coffee on the front porch without needing a coat. Today I will rake up a few leaves out back of our home which will make it look nicer for winter. Highway 522 is still busy, but it will slow down starting next week, as the hunting season for deer with rifles is about to close for another year. So with that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and a cup of fresh perked coffee, and will then get to work. You know. I am grateful that I am able to do the work. Enjoy your day, my friends, and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Starting things off … it is a frosty cool morning here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. The temperature climbing out of the sack was sitting at -1.6 C | 29.12 F. It is cool, but the temperature will warm up a lot as the day progresses. Actually, it will feel like summer out there for most of the day. The long range isn’t all that bad neither, but our daytime temperatures will start to cool down into the seasonal range in a couple of days. So best you enjoy what we have now. Yesterday was a gorgeous day, and my lovely wife and I took advantage of it. We had a few things that still needed to be done outside, and we got them almost finished. We also had our morning coffee on the front porch and in the afternoon. Today will be a rerun of yesterday for us. Highway 522 is still busy with folks heading into town to the LCBO. This time of year, it is the busiest store in the area, LOL. On another note I have a friend that says his garlic is up out of the ground. Which isn’t a good thing, as winter hasn’t started yet. The weather being so warm is making them grow. You want them to get rooted, that’s for sure, but you don’t want them to shoot up too far, as they can get froze back. But you never know, things have a way of working out in spite of what us humans think. The best thing a person can do if that is occurring, is to cover them with a nice bed of leaves, which will protect them. So with that bit of info under your hat, if you wear a hat, I am off for some waffles this morning that my lovely wife is making me, and will then take advantage of this warm weather. It won’t be long before the bitter cold enters into the picture. Take care and stay safe. GW
