Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cool day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -1 C | 30.2 F. It will warm up as the morning moves forward. We should see a wee bit of sunshine later on, which will be nice. Yesterday we did have a dusting of snow along with some icy conditions. Nothing that would cause any problems. Which is okay by me as I am ready for summer. The snow we did have is almost all gone. There is some left where the plows left it piled along the roads and in peoples driveways. I still have one large pile at the end of my driveway up by my woodworking shop. I will be glad when it is gone, so things can dry up a bit. I also put in my order for firewood, so it can be drying through the summer months. I am going to put in a new small wood stove in our cottage to be this summer, as it is too expensive to heat it with electric. It will be nice when all said and done. Yesterday I didn’t do too much, kind of took it easy. The old body needed a rest after all that yard work my lovely wife and I have been doing for the past week. Today I will work away on some things here in the house it being so cold outside. With that I am off for some flap cakes that my wife is making this morning. I will give her a hand since it is her birthday today. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a real nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature is mighty nice too sitting at 7 C | 44.6 F, getting out of bed. We are having some sunshine, but there are a lot of clouds. I am kind of thinking we will be seeing, some sunshine off and on throughout the day. Tomorrow though is a horse of a different colour as believe it or not we could see up to 3 inches of snow. I am hoping it passes us by. But if anyone gets snow Port Loring does. It’s been that way from the beginning of time. LOL Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning which will make travelling good. That is if you have to go anywhere. For my wife and I we are staying put these days, only going out for groceries. Most everything else we can buy right here in town. On another note my lovely wife and I finished up most of our yard work. It sure looks nice out there now. This is my favourite time of year as everything is new. Our gardens look kind of bare at the moment, but give things another couple weeks and the transformation takes place when all our perennials start to show themselves. And we have lots. It’s amazing really. Our snow drops are out in full bloom though, which are sure nice to see. Mother Nature is sure amazing. Last night we had a good rain with around three inches or so. My rain barrel is about half full. Which will give us some nice fresh soft water for our plants to be, in the coming days. We are now starting some vegetable seeds in the house, which when up to size we will plant in our outside gardens. Nothing like fresh veggies for the table every day. We can’t wait. I also can’t wait to till up our vegetable gardens as the smell of the soil is something I can never get enough of. I guess it’s the farmer in me. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has in store. Maybe do some front porch sittin’ before the colder temperatures move into our area. Stay safe and have a great day. It’s all in how you make it. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperatures climbing out of bed was sitting at 9.3 C | 48.74 F. Not too bad, considering the time of year. Yesterday it was a really nice day, so nice a person didn’t even need a jacket. Which was perfect for doing the work around the house here that my lovely wife and I did. It took us most of the day, but we got over half of our property raked up and burned. Today we will finish things up providing the rain holds off. We could see some sunshine off and on if we are lucky. Highway 522 is bare and dry which will make travelling good for those that are in dire need of going somewhere. I kind of figure with these new variants gong around it is best to stay home. Shop local and don’t dilly-dally in the stores, if you have to go into them. In out and home LOL. We have lost most of our snow, but there are some lingering patches, especially where it was piled throughout the winter months. Like at the end of my driveway. LOL But it is melting slowly. We need warmer weather, along with some rain to get rid of it all. Which is headed our way. On another note we did see some Robins while working outside yesterday, so they are back along with the red wing black birds. The crows are back also, they came back about a week ago. Which means that spring is in the air. Nice to see them back as we sure enjoy the birds along with what nature has to offer. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. GW
