Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy, wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is also a touch cool with the temperature, getting out of bed sitting at 13.6 C | 56.48 F. It rained most of the night which gave all the plants a good drink. And it was a nice rain, not a downpour. It will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. And if lucky, we could see some sunshine later on in the day. Which would be nice. Tomorrow however will be a lot nicer with lots of sunshine along with warmer temperatures entering back into the picture. Highway 522 isn’t all that busy yet as with the price of gas folks are staying close to home. But … people are people and I think, come the first of July when the kids are out of school, and they begin to pester the parents things will change and folks will be heading north, into the parks and small towns, seeking out what Nature has to offer. Damn if they do and damned if they don’t you could say.

On another note, we had a good turn out with customers dropping by yesterday, visiting our small store picking up a few things that they liked. It’s nice to chat to folks for a change, after being shut down for two years.

Yesterday I took it easy, not doing much as the wife has been watching me closely, not letting me do any hard work. It’s a full time job on her part. But I know she is right, I need to ease off things for a spell till I get better. Today I will tinker around in my woodworking shop, cleaning it up a bit. It’s a mess after rebuilding our front deck. Which should keep me out of trouble.

With that, I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me.

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature has dropped through the night, which made it nice for sleeping. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at 11.6 C | 52.88 F. We could see a few showers off and on throughout the day. Tomorrow things will be a bit better sunshine wise. Which is what we enjoy.

On another note, we did manage to get my front deck finished up, which made me smile. It was a challenge with not feeling all that good. But I managed. So now we have our porch to do some front porch sittin’ on. It should last for another few years. Most is all brand new once again.

The mosquitoes weren’t all that bad while working out there, but them pesky horse and deer flies were a touch annoying. Once they find you, they don’t leave you alone. I think I wore my hat out, swatting them. Ha Ha.

Today we are planning on getting our grass mowing out of the way for another week, that is if the rain holds off for us. The grass is nice and dry so far this morning, which will make things easier. If not, it will have to wait till tomorrow. You never know what Mother Nature has up her sleeve these days. Usually she cooperates with me.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then ease into doing some work. Take care and have a great day. GW

Good Morning!

We are finally seeing some sunshine this morning for a change. It is still a bit cool with the temperature sitting at 13.9 C | 57.02 F. It will warm up as the day progresses and the warmer weather will remain with us now for most of the summer. The nice thing is the nighttime temperatures for the next month will remain cool, which will make it nice for sleeping. Shaping up to be a perfect summer for our area. Highway 522 is slow this morning traffic wise, but it will pick up a bit later on today. With the price of gas and things, people are having to stay at home more than they would like too. And I can’t say I blame them. Where … two years ago it would cost us $30.00 to go to North Bay for groceries is now costing us around $60.00 for gas. That takes a big chuck out of what we will be buying when in town. We have cut back substantially grocery wise, my wife and I.

You know, I bought a pair of work shoes at Walmart last year for around $40.00, thinking that it was a good deal. The thing is, as of yesterday I looked, and they are about had it already. I didn’t even get a full year out of wearing them before they fell apart. Made in China. So that will be another expense in the coming days. I don’t mind paying a bit more for certain items if they last a few years. But it is not only shoes. It is the same with a lot of things these days. And I suspect it will get a lot worse in the coming months. Especially with those with mortgages, as the interest rate will be rising more throughout the summer. Which is going to hurt a lot of people when it comes due for renewal.

Although it isn’t as high as what my wife and I were paying many years ago with it then sitting at 18% – 20%. We made out, but it sure wasn’t easy, let me tell you. I am thinking a lot of people will have to make some major lifestyle changes in the coming months.

With that, I am off for a boiled egg and then see about finishing this deck out front so my lovely wife and I can do some front porch sittin’. Which we both are in need of these days.

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well!

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy day here, waking up in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have a lot of rain through the night. I suspect the rain will remain with us till this afternoon. Tomorrow however things should start to clear up and if lucky we will see a bit of sunshine. But we could see a few lingering showers here and there. And along with all that, the temperatures starting tomorrow will start to warm up.

Which is what I am looking forward too so my wife and I can finish up this front porch of ours. Pretty hard to do any front porch sittin’ without a porch. We use it a lot through the summer months. There are lots of things I would like to do, but with the price of lumber these days it’s hard. So the bare necessities only get done. Not much a person can do about it, other than complain.

Highway 522 isn’t too busy at the moment, but things will pick up when the sun returns, and we get closer to the weekend.

Today I will see if I can do some work outside, but will have to see if the weather will cooperate. If not, I will see about cleaning up my woodworking shop, as it is a mess at the moment. I also need to do some hoeing in our vegetable garden as the weeds are sneaking in and around the plants. You have to stay on these things, or they can get out of control very quickly.

With that I am off for a bite to eat that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see how I feel. I am still not feeling that great. I hope I get well soon, so I can get things back to normal. Take care and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy, rainy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. And on top of that it is quite cool outside with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at … 11.1 C | 51.98 F. It will warm up a wee bit as the day progresses but not much. The rain will also stay with us for today and most of tomorrow. So … knowing that, I don’t suspect I will be doing too much outside work. Being so cool, we had to turn on our oil furnace for the past two mornings to take out the dampness and warm things up a bit. Here it is June and still have to be heating our home. Weird weather these days, for sure. But it’s better than shovelling snow. Highway 522 is a touch busy at certain times of the day, but not as busy as it has been other years. I suspect it’s because of the gas prices and government doings. I could say more on the subject, but they aren’t worth the energy I waste on talking about them.

The blackflies are pretty well all gone now, and the mosquitoes. If you’re in the sunshine, they, aren’t all that bad. My wife and I worked on our front deck all day yesterday, and they didn’t bother us at all. Which was nice. It was a really nice day yesterday, the sun was shinning down upon us, along with not being too hot or too cold. Great day. Today is a different story. We did get all the underneath things fixed up with our deck, looks like new now. Once it warms up some and the rain stops, I will then put on the new boards for the top. After that, we should be good for a few more years. I hope. They sure don’t put out lumber like they used to, that’s for sure. And the price … man, for what I paid for the lumber I could have bought a new car years ago. LOL Sheesh.

Today I will take a much-needed rest and nurse my body, which it needs right now. You would think I would learn after so many years. My lovely wife is constantly telling me to take it easy. The thing is, I know better, and I also know she is right. Crazy the way the mind works sometimes. Anyway, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then … maybe tinker around in the old woodworking shop for a bit. It needs some cleaning and things. I will see how I feel. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Sorry for not being here in my Blog lately, still been feeling poorly. I feel good one day and not so good the next day. As I say, it’s nothing to do with the virus, just an old body with a few parts wearing out I guess. I am hoping it gets better sooner than later. But I am working on it, I don’t give up on things. Anyway, on to more pleasant things.

It was cloudy this morning early, but I do see some clear skies on the horizon, which should warm things up a bit as it has been cool for the past day or so. And windy. Fishing isn’t the greatest as yet. The black flies however have all but left, which is okay with me. The mosquitoes are with us, but not so bad. I think this cool weather slowed them down some. The dragon flies are around, they clean most of the blackflies and mosquitoes up. It’s nice to see them. But the birds also like them blood sucking parasites, as they are none stop eating them in our yard.

Highway 522 is picking up with cars, trucks and campers these days. Nice to see folks moving around enjoying life. It’s too bad more doesn’t take advantage of these things, as life is short. I have always said make the most of each day doing what you want and like. On another note, my vegetable garden is really growing. My garlic this year has never been better. My potatoes are showing a lot of leaves and our lettuce is about ready to eat. Our tomatoes are getting up to size, but still has a lot of growing to do before we have any to eat. We also have a some corn showing above ground, which should be tasty later on. I also have some pumpkins which can grow and weight up to 50 – 100 pounds. They are some ancient seeds that my grandfather had put away over a hundred years. I found them while looking through some old boxes and decided to plant them. With in one week they were sprouting. I made a special area for them out back of our house, so we will see how they work out. Hard to say being so old. But nature is sure amazing, let me tell you.

With that my friends, I am off for a bowl of cereal, that my lovely wife is preparing for me. I will then rest for a bit, then see if I can do something outside. We have an old deck on the front of our house needing repair. Something like I need you could say. I just have to be very careful these days. Anyway take care and stay safe, this virus is still there, not as bad, but it still can make certain people very sick. GW

Good Morning! Sorry for not posting any information here on my Blog for the past few days. I have had some issues’ health wise. In the hospital and now back home. Nothing to do with the virus. Just some other ongoing things, that we hope are under control.

Starting things off, it is a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperatures have been actually pretty nice for this time of year. Waking up, it was sitting at 14.6 C | 58.28 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 isn’t as busy as it was other years, but that is to be expected with the weather we have been having along with the gas prices and other things that are happening in our country. I suspect though it will pick up in with June in our midst. The Black flies are still with us and the mosquitoes have made their appearance. We have to shake ourselves off before entering the house or … we are in for some swatting later on in the evening hours when trying to sleep.

On another note, I haven’t been busy doing much around the house here these days with not being well, but I hope things get back to normal in the coming days. We did manage to get our vegetable garden planted beforehand, though, which is a good thing. It’s nice to be able to look outside and watch things grow, especially things that you can bring in to the table.

With that, my friends, I am off for a bowl of cereal. I just put my pillows out on the front porch chairs, so I am thinking that will be where I will be residing for a few days. In Closing!

I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning. We are having some sunshine this morning, but it is a bit cool with the temperature waking up sitting at …. 9.9 C | 49.82 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. So all in all, everyone in our area had a pretty good long weekend, weather wise. Now in Niagara it’s a different story with a lot of high winds and things which caused all kinds of issues. Highway 522 is slow this morning, but it will pick up as the day moves forward. Yesterday I worked most of the day in my woodworking shop fixing a few things. Today I will do the same.

On another note, our garlic is sure growing this year. It is up almost two feet at the moment and looking good. I did plant my pumpkins yesterday outside, but I covered them up before going to bed just in case of a frost. We didn’t have any, but it did get down close to where we could have. It’s a hard year to figure out when to plant things as the nights are staying quite cool. I am thinking by the looks of things we won’t get all our vegetables planted till late in the week. I am keeping a close eye on things.

With that I am off for some Pancakes … that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store. I am looking forward to some of Mikes Maple Syrup, It is gooooood! Why not pick up a jug or two. He won the award for … The Worlds Best. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We will also be having some showers off and on this morning. If we are lucky, we might see some sunshine tomorrow. But cooler temperatures will be upon us for most of next week. Along with some more rain off and on. So it’s going to be kind of a mixed bag of weather for a few days. Highway 522 is getting busy. I got up through the night and cars with boats along with campers were going up and down the highway at 2:00 AM. It’s a sign of what’s to come.

On another note, the Blackflies are still annoying, but not as bad as other years. And … yes, the Mosquitoes have started to make themselves noticed. All this damp, warm weather gets them to moving around.

Yesterday I worked away in my old woodworking shop for a bit. Fixed up my old rototiller a bit more and worked in my vegetable garden getting it ready to plant. I will probably do that the middle of the week, as that is when the nighttime temperatures are looking pretty good. I like it to stay around the 50 F mark at nights before I plant. The old saying when I was farming many years ago. Don’t plant till after the 24th of May. I can still hear my old Dad saying that.

With that bit of info under your hat, that is if you wear a hat, I am off for coffee and piece of toast this morning. I don’t feel all that hungry. Have a great day and stay safe. There is still a lot of sickness in our area these days. GW

Starting things off, it is cloudy here in Port Loring, Ontario. We should however see some sunshine as the day progresses, and then rain for tomorrow. But Monday isn’t looking all that bad. So weather wise, things are shaping up for a not too bad Long Weekend. We did have a nice rain through the night, with lots of thunder and lightning. Things could have been a lot worse as they said we could have had a tornado along with large hail. So all in all, we made out pretty good. Highway 522 is getting busier every day. Yesterday I had to go pick up a belt at Mikes here in town. I decided to go for a walk and I had to wait for all the cars, campers and trucks, so I could get across the highway. Sign of how things are changing these days.

On another note, I did get my parts for my fifty-year-old rototiller, so going to see if I can put it back together this morning. It is a good old machine, but hard to get parts for nowadays. I can’t complain, mind ya, as I haven’t had to do hardly any maintenance on it for as long as I have owned it. Something like my old Roper Riding Mower. Ha Ha. I have to say, it turns heads when folks see me mowing with it.

On another note, I got my potatoes planted yesterday, which should give us a few nice meals later on this summer. My garlic is also growing leaps and bounds too. The best I have ever grown, thanks to my friend Archie. Sometimes a feller has to take some advice from others. I also got my vegetable garden in shape for planting. I will get at that in three or four days. Just waiting to make sure there isn’t going to be any more frost at nights.

So with that I am off for a bagel with some Dandelion Jam my lovely wife made for me yesterday and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. You never know. Stay safe, still lots of folks sick here in town.

Good Morning. It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. However, we could see a thunderstorm later on today. The reason being it will become quite hot as the day moves forward, which will bring in rain. The long weekend other than Monday isn’t looking all that good weather wise, with more rain in the forecast. In my eyes, we here in Canada should have stayed the same as the USA with the Holiday being next weekend. That way, it would be a bit later when the weather is nicer. And the tourists in the USA would be off work the same time we are. But that is what our government is all about … messing up things.

Highway 522 is still quiet these days, with a lot of folks staying home with the gas prices being so high, along with our economy getting worse every day. We spend billions giving it to other countries when we should be looking after our own here at home. You know … let’s take the USA & Canada if they would take the billions that they are sending over to other countries and put it into, let’s say … finding a cure for cancer … cancer would be a thing of the past within a few years. I don’t for the life of me see what their thinking is. Like the wars and things. It isn’t the people themselves that want war, it is simply a certain number of so-called power hungry, big shots trying to force their beliefs on others. What a shame that is. Makes me sick thinking about it. I can see, in a few years, the people themselves eventually rebelling and getting rid of all governments as they stand today. Might not be in my time as I am getting up there in years, but it is coming, mark my words. People have had enough and when they themselves can’t take any more something is going to happen.

Anyway, that’s my rant for the day. I am going for a cup of coffee. Heck of a way to start the day. Stay safe.

Oh, the blackflies are still with us, but the mosquitoes haven’t made an appearance as yet. Another Parasite we could do without. GW

Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning here, waking up in Port Loring, Ontario. However, even though it is sunny, it is down right cold. We have our furnace running at the moment. We also had a frost overnight, with the temperature getting down to 0.9 C | 33.62 F. It will warm up though as the day progresses, which will make it nice for doing some outside work. I am happy we didn’t plant our vegetable gardens yet. Highway 522 isn’t all that busy these days, but it will pick up on the weekend. Although it is calling for showers for Saturday and Sunday, which might make folks stay at home along with the gas prices being so high. We will see how it goes.

On another note, my wife and I cleaned out our chimney yesterday after burning a winters worth of wood. Wasn’t all that bad, but it is still a good thing to do. Now it is ready to go for this winter. Not that I even want to think about it yet. After that, I worked on finishing up my new spot I made for some pumpkins.

Today I have to take my car down to Kerry Booth’s Service Centre as it has a wheel bearing making a noise on the back, so he is going to replace that for us. Problem is finding out which one it is. Hard to tell if the noise is coming from the right rear or the left rear. But I am sure he will figure it out. He is a good mechanic.

And yes, the blackflies are still with us. But the mosquitoes haven’t arrived yet. Won’t be long, though.

With that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me and will then get to work. Stay safe. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature outside has also dropped a lot, with it sitting at 9.3 C | 48.74 F getting out of the sack. It will warm up a bit more than it is now, but it will still be a cool day, reason being the wind is coming in from the North West. Highway 522 has slowed down a wee bit, but it is early in the week. As we near the weekend, things will pick up once again.

On another note, I did manage to get our vegetable garden rototilled. Took a bit of doing using the little one I have. But digging it by hand first, then going over it five or six times did the trick. Once I have the new parts that are on order, I will try and fix my big one. Which now I won’t really need till Fall. LOL, I only need them for a half a day in the spring and a half a day in the Fall. Ha ha. The grass is also growing leaps and bounds, so tomorrow if the sun shines we will get that out of the way. I like to do it on Thursdays but … we are in for some more showers Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We also have to get our tomato plants and things planted, but it’s still early, so we will have to see how that goes. Lots to do in the spring, that’s for sure.

On another note, my lovely wife and I went to town yesterday to pick up some clothes and things. It usually takes the whole day. Being Monday, the stores weren’t all that busy, which made it nice to look around. Wearing our mask, of course. A lot more now have stopped wearing them in stores, but seeing that … there are a lot more people getting sick too. They say. Oh! It’s no worse than a cold. LOL Well truth be told, my wife and I don’t want to catch a cold neither. Or the flue or what ever. The masks reduce the chance of catching them, too.

Anyway, to each their own. With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then finish up making my new pumpkin patch I started a couple of days ago. It’s nice to be able to get outside instead of being stuck in the house. Take care. GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. But we should see some sunshine as the day moves forward. However, tomorrow things temperature wise cools down a lot, with some rain thrown in for good measure. But in saying that we do need rain as everything is really dry. We did have a wee bit last night, but nothing that did any real good. Highway 522 is quiet this morning, but that is because it is Sunday. Day of rest. At least for some. For me, it is like any other day. I get that from being a farmer, as on a farm there is always something that needs to be done. Not that I don’t enjoy our front porch off and on.

Yesterday I worked away sanding and painting one of our decks by the house. Today I will work away on a mower I have. I got fed up with it and bought a new carb for it. If that don’t work, I am going to throw it in the dump. I bought it brand new, and it has been nothing but problems, let me tell you. First it wouldn’t run, then the wheels wore out, in one year, then the axle and bearings that hold the wheels are now almost shot. I make-shift fixed things as they happened, but that’s it now. Ha Ha. They sure don’t make things like they used to, as most things are made in China or ? There they use the cheapest material they can to make things.

So with that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I want to do. You never know. Take care and stay safe as there are still a lot of people getting sick from this virus. GW

I have to tell ya, we sure have been having some nice weather for the past week or so. Other than the BlackFlies, that is. But it is to be expected living where we do. And they ease off around the middle of June. They are pretty bad out there at the moment. I worked in my gardens yesterday and the air was thick. But they didn’t bother me, biting wise. I chock it up to being so old, I am not as tasty as I used to be. They would much sooner enjoy the juicy city folks. Ha Ha

Highway 522 is getting busier every day, which is normal for this time of year. The temperatures have sure been warm the past couple days, which should kill some of these blackflies.

On another note, our grass is sure growing leaps and bounds these days. We will have to mow it next week for sure. We still have to plant our vegetable gardens, but I am holding off till after the full moon on the 16th of this month. After that, I will see how things are looking. It would be nice to get things planted, that’s for sure. Doesn’t pay to rush things when it comes to Mother Nature. Last year I planted them early, and we had a bad freeze, and we lost a lot. And the thing is being an old farmer I know better. Ha Ha.

With that I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast and will then get to work. I am getting our two front decks ready to paint. They get looking not so good after winter. Take care and have a great day. Make it a great day. GW

Once again it is a fantastic day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Other than the Black Flies as they are out in full force. Although, when i was working in my gardens, they weren’t biting that much. Annoying is more of what is taking place at the moment. The mosquitoes aren’t out as yet, but with this warm weather, I am sure they are lurking in the wings so to speak. Highway 522 is busy and will get busier with folks taking their vacations. And a lot just like to get away for the weekend. The price of gas though, is slowing a lot of folks from going too far from home. We are paying a heck of a price, that’s for sure. It’s all about price gouging. Making that Almighty dollar. Not what is good for the country. And on top of all that, this carbon tax which is the biggest joke of the century is sure hurting folks a lot.

On another note, I worked steadily on different things around my shop yesterday, along with turning over more of my vegetable gardens. I need my large Rototiller, but the parts aren’t in yet, so I can fix it. Always something to hinder ones mind. Our tulips are sure putting on a show these days in front of our home. They sure are nice to take in while enjoying our coffee on the front porch. Along with the trees that are all coming out in leaf. Even our Wild Leeks are looking good this year. My lovely wife is going to make us a Wild Leek Soup either today or tomorrow. It is one of the healthiest things a person can eat in the spring and very good for those with allergies.

So with that I am off for a bowl of porridge and … maybe I will uncover my boat today. Will see how that works out. You never know. Plan one thing and then do another. Ha Ha. Take care and have a great day.

Starting things off, we are having some more sunshine waking up. It is a beautiful day, for sure. Other than the Black Flies as they are out in full force, let me tell ya. I went outside to take a picture of some tulips that are putting on a show this morning, and they were swarming around my head. I do have to finish digging my vegetable garden today, as I only managed to get it 3/4 turned over the day before yesterday. I like to take my pointed mouth shovel and dig down deep, turning the soil over, before rototilling it up. I still haven’t got the parts yet to fix my large tiller. I do have a small one, but it’s not the greatest. But it’s better than nothing. Highway 522 is very busy these past few days with folks coming in from all over. And there are lots of new folks moving into our area too, buying up anything and everything. People wanting to get out of the big cities. Can’t say I blame them, and I don’t have a problem with that as long as they don’t start changing things into what the cities are all about. Seems some like to move from the city and then make the country like the city. Not sure what they are thinking, to be honest with you.

On another note, my wife and I took the day yesterday and went to North Bay for some groceries and things. We also picked up a few plants for our vegetable gardens. Lambs on Lakeshore Road had a good assortment. It started off a bit rainy, but by the time we got to the Bay, the sun was shinning down upon us. It was also a good day people wise as not too many were in the stores. A lot are home sick these days with the virus. My wife and I wore our masks where ever we went, kept our distance and washed our hands with disinfected when going in and coming out of the stores. We also ordered our food from a drive through and ate in our car. Actually we prefer to do it that way as we aren’t sitting in amongst a lot of people listening to every word you say LOL. But … to each their own, I always say.

I also noticed our grass is sure growing these past couple days. I suspect we will be mowing next week for sure. I also finished up our roadside stand, which I will take a picture of later on today and show you all how it turned out. I had a few people Emailing me asking to see it, LOL. With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of sour dough bread toasted that my lovely wife is making for me. It’s the healthiest of all breads for those that might be interested. Take care and stay safe. There are still a lot of people here in town sick with this virus. GW

It’s a bit cloudy this morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The sun is trying hard to break through though, which should give us another really nice day weather wise. There is also a nice breeze coming in from the 207 deg/SSW. Which would make it a good day for fishing. Myself, I don’t put my boat in the water till the middle of June, as that is when Black Fly season is about over and the Mosquitoes have died down some. It kind of depends on the year we are having, as some years they are worse than others.

Speaking of Black Flies, I saw quite a few yesterday while I was outside working. They weren’t biting too much yet, but that will change in a day or so. Joys of living so far back in the bush.

Yesterday I finished up the road-side trailer I built and will drag it out to its spot in front of our house later on today. Should be an eye-catcher for sure. It took a lot of work building it … but it looks good. I also tried to get my rototiller going yesterday, which was no problem. But running is the only thing it did, as the main drive belt was shot, along with a broken pulley. So … went to see Mike here in town that owns a boat repair shop, he ordered me some parts. It’s nice to have a feller that will do these things for you. We have known him for years. Nice fellow for sure.

Today I am going to be working on some more equipment and as I said earlier put the new trailer out front. Then will see about doing some work in our gardens. After that, maybe hook up the water to our cottage, so it is ready to go. Lots to do this time of year.

With that, I am off for a piece of toast and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. You never know really. Some days I head in one direction only to be directed to another direction. Interesting in one way, in another I still have to get done what I started to do. LOL Anyway, you all have a great day. GW

We are having some sunshine here in Port Loring, this morning, but we are also having some clouds messing things up. But we should be seeing more sunshine as the day progresses. Highway 522 is starting to be busy the past couple days, and I suspect today and the weekend will be even busier. As yet, I haven’t seen any mosquitoes or blackflies. But I suspect that to change soon with the warmer temperatures entering into the picture. Right now, it is a bit of a reprieve for us humans and animals.

On another note, yesterday I worked steadily once again on this roadside trailer affair I am fabricating. LOL It’s taking me longer than I thought it would, reason being I keep on adding things as I go along, thinking it will be just that much nicer when all said and done. Then we have to roll it out to our front yard, where it will stay. It isn’t made for the road, that”s for sure, LOL, But it will be a nice item to display a few outside items that we will have for sale later on this month.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. Today, I will be covering the floor and bottom with some wood preserver. Once that is done, I will fasten the floor boards into place and get to building the roof. Take care and stay safe. We had a visitor yesterday saying that where he works there were a couple more people sick with the virus, so it is spreading more and more every day here in town. Over 30 have died from it here in Ontario yesterday. GW

It’s a really nice looking day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The sun is shinning, hardly no wind to speak off, the birds are chirping, and the grass is growing. Damn forgot I have to get my mowers running. There is always something that needs doing. Oh well, it’s better than shovelling snow. And truth be told, there is nothing that smells nicer than fresh cut grass, or hay for that matter.

Highway 522 is picking up with traffic these days. Lots of campers and boats moving into our area. Folks are leaving the cities for the country life, and I can’t rightly say I blame them.

On another note, I have been really busy working on an old trailer I made a few years ago. I took some before pictures and will take some after its finished pictures and let you have a look once I have it complete. We are going to situate it in front of our home out by the Highway. Should be a nice vocal point for sure.

Other than people getting into summer mode, not too much else happening in and around our community. With that, I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is preparing for me, and will then get to work. Sure nice being outside with the warm sunshine for a change. Stay safe, this virus is still taking its toll on folks here in town. GW
