Highway 522 is snow covered  throughout in some areas with a few icy sections, so care should be taken if out and about.  Should melt off a touch once the sun hits the black pavement.  Enjoy your day my friends, stay safe and warm.  You can reach me…  George Walters at:  [email protected]

Mulch is piled high and leaves are all gathered.  Firewood is in the house or close by, waiting for them cold days which in my mind kind of puts a warmth in ones heart. Seems every year at this time certain items send me good feelings.  Warmth and food in abundance with good friends and family members close by.  Can’t get much better than that.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Some say no that can’t happen, I say it can.  To each their own in thinking I suppose.  If you do get very cold a hot shower as soon as possible coming in from the outside will reduce your chances of getting sick substantially.    You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:   For the next couple weeks things are leaning towards the quiet side of things with folks all out hunting in our area.  Or should say for most.  I did get out on Monday for a spell with no luck.  But had to come in a touch early as the old back and things were taking a toll on me somewhat.  Will see how it goes a bit later on in the week after this rain makes its way out of our area.  So my friends take care and enjoy your day.  Stay warm and dry and wash your hands after going out to other homes or establishments as it will save you a lot of grief with catching a cold or the flu.  Main thing is to keep your hands away from your face when out and about till you can wash them.  Simple thing to do….right?  Do that and no Flu Shot Needed.

That and food for winter what could be better.  Highway 522 is bare and in some places wet.  Snow is pretty well all gone in our area with the warm weather that is upon us now.  Enjoy your day my friends.  Stay safe.  You can reach me George Walters at…  [email protected]

Our new wood furnace is sure a treat thanks to Jamie Mathews for hooking things up and  getting it burning like it should.  Does take some getting used to after the old one we used to have but the way things are going it will sure save on the wood and oil bill this winter. Hardly takes any wood at all to heat this house now. But then we did a lot of renovating over the past three years.  Insulating the whole house in the walls has helped immensely also. Was a very good investment.  So my friends have a great day and if possible try and get outside and soak up some of that sunshine and breath in that fresh northern air.  Good for your constitution and what ails

Around Town:   Highway 522 is mostly wet with a few icy sections and some snow covered areas here and there.  So care should be taken.  Seems every year with the first snow fall comes accidents.  Reason being folks aren’t used to it and figure they can drive at the same speeds as when the highways are dry.  So my friends leave early to go where ever your heading and drive slower. Doing so you will have more control of your vehicle which will keep you safe.   The fringe benefit of all this is that you can now take in what nature has to offer.  As with all the snow hanging from the trees it is just beautiful.  Amazes the mind one could say.  But keep your eyes on the road too.  Enjoy your day my friends, stay warm and safe.   You can reach me George Walters at… [email protected]

Good Morning:  Well I said temperatures were going to drop which they have. This morning waking up they were sitting at…-1.4 C | 29.48 F.

It will rise a bit later to around 4 MPH.  Chances are no matter where you sit today you will do well.  Feeding time today will be right at Dusk.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Well once again not to much happening in the way of events and things.  Highway 522 is Bare with a few wet sections after yesterdays rain.  This sun will dry things up in a bit.  Few leaves need to be raked up around our house here now, which will be added to our vegetable gardens along with others.  Makes for some really nice soil come spring. The only ones not to put in your gardens would be walnut, or oak.  I also don’t put in to many birch tree leaves as over the years I have found these to raise the acidic levels up to high.  Same goes for pine needles.  All the rest though are very good for maintaining a good PH in your soil.  When I was farming my old Dad used to say you only get out of your soil what you put into it.  True too.  So my friends enjoy your day, dress warm and try and get out and breath in some of that fresh northern air along with allowing a bit of that sunshine reach your skin.  You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well not much happening here in Port Loring.  Highway 522 is bare and wet. A few trucks and things moving around but other than that quiet.  Four Wheelers are in abundance with  Deer hunting season edging in on us.  Thinking there will be a lot of folks in the bush this season.  Just one more reason to take extra care.  Also see the OPP out and about checking folks out so might pay to double check your licences and things. Don’t need any law officer taking away ones trophy buck.  Years ago I had something like that happen to me.  I was coming back from Florida and through the mountains a deer run out in front of me.  Few minutes later a Trooper came by asked if I was OK and if I wanted the deer.  I said nope no where to put it.  He then threw it on top of his car marked Sheriff and drove off.  Leaving me standing there with a smashed up car that wouldn’t go anywhere.  Had me thinking there for a few minutes, but about a half hour later he came back with a tow truck.  Said he had to get his family to skinning the deer.  Later on we had a pretty good laugh out of that.   So my friends you have a great day and enjoy the warm weather as it isn’t going to last for much longer.  You Can Reach Me, George Walters at… [email protected]

Around Town:  Well pretty quiet here this morning. Highway 522 hardly a car can be seen.   Yesterday morning waking up I had some computer problems so took it to my son Karl and found it was the Power Supply.  So $70.00 later and a trip to Staples along with a bit of work on my sons part, things are back in order here this morning.   While in town we picked up a few items of  choice, had supper with our son as it was his birthday and relaxed a bit at his apartment later on.  I have to say the stores there in North Bay were major busy.  Had to wait for quite a spell in all the check outs.  Good sign though as it means folks are our and about spending money.  Also noticed gas prices were down some for a change at the Esso at 1:23.  Still to high for a country that produces it.  One would think that we as Canadians should be given a break ahead of other countries.  But in this old world money is what directs it it seems.  So my friends have a great day.
