Good Morning! It’s a nice looking morning getting out of bed. The sun is shinning along with a light breeze. Which will make it nicer with this heat we are in for today, as temperatures are going to rise a lot. So if you have any outside work to be done, I would think the morning hours would be best. The temperature waking up was sitting at 20.9 C | 69.62 F. Yesterday we did have a wee bit of much-needed rain, but we could have used a lot more. My wife and I did finish planting our vegetable gardens yesterday, with some new plants, replacing the ones that got frozen. Today I will be running water lines to our new building out back which will probably take most of the day. Once that is done I can get to working on some of the inside items that need to be done. But we will see. If it gets too hot I won’t be doing much digging. Instead, I will enjoy a bowl of some sweet cherries we bought the other day. Speaking of cherries. Man have they risen in price. We paid more a pound, than I was selling a 6 Quart basket when we had our farms years ago. Actually, everything is up there in price with this virus among us. Some can be justified, other things can’t, with lots of folks using the virus as an excuse to raise the prices. Those are the ones I won’t be going back to do business with. At any rate such is life. There are a lot of humans without any compassion at all and this virus has brought them out in full force these days. But they will get their just rewards. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stays safe.

Good Morning! Well here it is the first of June. Man, time sure fly’s by. I am not sure why that is, as some days things move fast and then other days I wonder if they will ever end. I guess it is all in how you look at things. Not that I am complaining mind ya. Highway 522 is still busy these days with lots of travellers in our midst. The weather has been nice too, with the temperature this morning sitting at 11.8 C | 53.24 F. It will warm up a lot more as the day moves forward, and this weekend it could get down right hot. I might have to get my old fan out of winters storage. On another note, being so dry, which is hard to believe, I have been watering my vegetable gardens daily. The grass is also slowing down, which is okay by me. Yesterday we worked all day on our shower house out back near our cottage to be. It is turning out nice, and we did manage to get the roof shingled. Today I will hang a cedar door I have had lying around for the past ten years, or more. I can’t remember where I picked it up, but I did, and I finally found a home for it. So you see … it does pay to hang onto a few things. I have to admit I hang onto a lot of things. My problem is. I know I have something, but I have trouble finding it. LOL Hanging doors isn’t my favourite job, but it has to be done. The good part is the door didn’t cost me a cent. With that, take care and stay safe. And have a great day. GW

Good Morning!. It’s another cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 5.2 C | 41.36 F. We have had some heavy frost for the past two mornings which I suspect took its toll on a lot of gardens. I lost a few plants myself. I had them covered, but being so cold it didn’t help. Not much a person can do other than replant. Usually things work out, but occasionally a year comes along that surprises a person. Such is life. Highway 522 is still quite busy these days with folks coming in from all over. Knowing that, extra care is needed to keep one safe with this virus. Even though a person has had his or her shot doesn’t mean that they are invincible. I suspect we will be living with this virus for a few years to come. On another note, my lovely wife and I have been getting a lot of work done on our new building out back. It is finally starting to look like something. Today we will finish up the trim work and then get to installing the shingles on the roof. It has been cool working out there, but the good part is the black flies and mosquitoes don’t like the cold all that much. Which makes things a lot nicer for working. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Other than what I have planned. You just never know, and I like it that way … as it makes life interesting. LOL Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning for a change here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a touch cool though with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 2.3 C | 36.14 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. Tomorrow things will begin to be more pleasant temperature and sun wise. But in saying that, the cooler temperatures have kept the black-flies and mosquitoes at bay. Which makes it nice for getting some of our outside work done up. Yesterday we got our mowing finished up in the morning, and then in the afternoon we installed some expensive sheets of plywood on our roof of our new building out back of our house, that we are building. We had a busy day but a good day. Today we will put on some trim around the window and door and a facer board. And then we will shingle the roof. That’s the plan. But you never know what a day has in store. On another note we did have a wee bit of frost last night, so I am happy I covered our vegetable plants that we planted a few days ago. Tonight I will do the same. After tonight the nighttime temperatures shouldn’t be a concern. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and maybe an English Muffin and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy damp rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 16.8 C | 62.24 F. Not to bad. If we are lucky we might have a wee bit of sunshine later on. But it is calling for more rain tomorrow. So …. knowing that, I guess I will be doing some inside work. Not that, that is a problem, as I have lots to do no matter what the day entails. Yesterday my lovely wife and I worked all day on our new shed out back we are building. We actually had a nice day and the black flies and mosquitoes weren’t all that bad. I have noticed the Dragon Flies are starting to make their appearance, which is a good thing, as they sure clean up them pesky blood sucking parasites. Nature taking care of Nature. Highway 522 is still busy with city folks coming into our area from all over, taking in what we have to offer. Good in one way, not so good in another way. LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, you just never know what a day might bring. Take care and stay safe, things are still quite bad out there virus wise.
