Rainy day here waking up. Black flies are hiding till the sun comes out. Temperatures were sitting at 7.5 C | 45.5 F The rain will continue until late Monday. We could see around 20 to 40 mm. We also might have some thunderstorms throughout the day.. Crazy weather. Tomorrow will be much like today. But after that it looks like things are going to change for the best. Sunshine, a few clouds and warmer. The downside of things is we will have to deal with these pesky black flies for a few weeks. On another note, maybe I will be able to get my gardens tilled up next week. Would be nice. Today I am taking things easy have some folks dropping by early in the day. With that I am off for? Yep … my morning coffee, and a bite to eat. Have a great day, better weather is on the way. GW
Looks good and tastes even better. Coffee is exceptionally good this morning.
Cloudy morning here waking up. It looks as if we are in for some not so nice weather for a few days. Rain will begin this afternoon and continue until late Monday. Rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm are possible. We could also see some thunderstorms along with the rain on Sunday. Higher rainfall amounts are possible in certain areas. Temperatures were sitting at 4.5 C | 40.1 F Travelling will be good other than the rain. But care should be taken, if we get the heavy rain. Black Flies are out enjoying themselves. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and enjoy the day for what it is. And a bite to eat. GW
Cloudy waking up, but we should see some sunshine after a bit. Tomorrow will be cloudy and then rain for a couple more days before the crappy weather is behind us. Then all we have to deal with is the black flies and skeeters. After that though we should be good for a month or two. I hope we don’t have the heat we did last year with the forest fires all around us. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so travelling should be a go for the long weekend. If asked I would have made the long weekend in May alongside the US, as it is a bit later, which usually makes for better weather But, our powers that be, choose what they want, not asking the people. Only in Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 7.1 C | 44.78 F On another note the Finches are back, I noticed hundreds at my bird feeder yesterday, so I brought out the finch feeder and filled it with NIGER Seeds I am thinking I might have to buy another bag, as I found that once it dries out they don’t like it as much. So if you have some, and they don’t seem to be eating it, you know why. With that, I am off for my morning coffee. Just seems I need it to start things off. Either before I have breakfast or after. Doesn’t really matter, other than if I have it after, I tend to take things easy a bit longer LOL. Which, is okay. Have a great day. GW
My favourite meal to start the day. Egg, ham and cheese on an English Muffin. With some lettuce, and if handy a slice of tomato. HM MMM!
My wife and I would like to thank everyone for a fantastic night at the Callandaer Horticultural Society. It was a great night with a good turnout. I spoke a bit on my life, read a story and got into what Nature has to offer in general. After my talk I answered questions, and we all had a great chat with coffee and goodies. Great night and a great bunch of people. GW
Cloudy morning and cool. Temperatures were sitting at 4.7 C | 40.46 F Today it will be cloudy, cool; and we could see a couple of afternoon showers. The long weekend isn’t going to be that great I suspect we will see clouds on Saturday and some showers on Sunday and Monday. But in saying all that, after that we should be in for some really nice weather. Things will warm up, and we will see quite a bit of sunshine. I am looking forward to it. It’s about time. My gardens are crying to be tilled. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store. GW
Well another cloudy morning with some light showers. That will be the trend for most of the day and the same for tomorrow. It is possible some sunshine will break through today. Friday we should see some more sunshine. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 7 C | 44.6 F Highway 522 is bare so travelling should be good if you don’t mind the gloomy day. I prefer sunshine myself. On another note the Black flies have made their appearance. I managed to set outside for a bit yesterday, and they were there. It is that time of year I know, but I don’t like them. After them, it is the skeeters. Seems there is always something to keep us from enjoying the outdoors. If not snow, cold, rain, its them blood sucking parasites LOL. I am off for my morning coffee I have a busy day today.
Cloudy morning starting things off. We should see some sunshine later on, but the way things are going I could be wrong. Tomorrow we will see more clouds with some showers in the afternoon. Crazy weather for sure. Last year I had my garden tilled and almost planted. Won’t be happening this year. Black flies are still being held back but that could change quite quickly. Temperatures at the time of this post were sitting at 7.1 C | 44.78 F Highway 522 is bare and dry. Travelling should be good in a while. It sure is nice to see the trees coming out in leaf. I call it the Early Fall as there is some nice colours with the different trees coming into bud. A lot of flowers are also making an appearance in my gardens I see, which is nice. We just need some nice weather, so we can get outside and enjoy things. With that I am off to turn up the heat a touch, it’s still cool and damp outside. The old bones don’t like the cold much anymore. So I try to keep it warm the best I can. LOL GW
Top of the List : Oatmeal is a nutritional powerhouse. It contains beta gluten, which is a thick, sticky fiber that helps a person to feel full for longer and may also lower cholesterol. Also, great for lowering blood pressure.
Eggs Some people think that eggs are unhealthful because of the amount of cholesterol they contain. However, research has shown that the dietary cholesterol from eggs has only a minor impact on bad cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in the blood.
Nuts, eating nuts is another excellent way to get enough protein. Nuts also contain antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, and heart-healthful fats.
Coffee also offers other health benefits due to its antioxidants, which help fight inflammation.
Berries Berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, are an excellent way to start the morning. They are low in calories, high in fiber, and contain disease-fighting antioxidants.
Flax seeds The health benefits of flax seed include lowering blood levels of cholesterol, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar, and even protecting against cancer.
Greek yogurt is another excellent source of protein to eat in the morning. Greek yogurt is thick and creamy and contains more protein than regular strained yogurt.
Greek yogurt is also rich in calcium and contains probiotics that help support a healthy gut and immune system.
Tea These teas contain some caffeine but not as much as coffee. Tea can also help a person stay hydrated.
Cottage cheese is also rich in B vitamins, vitamin A, and calcium. People can eat cottage cheese by itself, or mix it with other savory foods, such as pepper and spring onions, or fruit or nuts.
Bananas contain resistant starch. The body does not digest resistant starch, so it travels through the body unchanged, which helps support digestive health. Unripe bananas contain more resistant starch than ripe bananas, which have more natural sugars.
Another cloudy rainy morning. Waking up temperatures were sitting at 6.6 C | 43.88 F Highway 522 is bare and travelling should be good other than a rainy day. Today it will be cloudy, breezy; a brief morning shower or two, then a little rain for the rest of the day. Not a great day weather wise. But in saying that all this rain is getting things growing. Trees are all out in bud and grass is greening up fast. Even the wild Leeks are up and my lovely wife made some Leek soup, yesterday. Pretty tasty too. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store for us. Furnace is still running. Man long winter. GW
Great if you have an air born allergy if eaten early in the spring.
Cloudy day waking up. Temperatures were sitting at 7.7 C | 45.86 F Today we should see some sun, then increasing clouds. It will warm up some though which will make Mothers Day that much more enjoyable. Tomorrow we will see some more rain. On another note we are still having to turn on the furnace throughout the day and evening hours to keep warm. Crazy weather. Highway 522 is dry so travelling will be good. With that I am off once again for my morning coffee with my lovely wife, I was hoping we could get some front porch sitting in today and soak up some of that much-needed sunshine. One can only hope. GW
Nice looking morning waking up. Sun was shinning and birds were chirping . It is a touch cool though with temperatures at time of post sitting at 2.8 C | 37.04 F It should warm up and be a nice day all way round. Tomorrow is going to be warmer, and we should see some sunshine throughout the day. We might even get some front porch sitting in if things goes right. They were calling for some not so good weather over the weekend, but looks not too bad now. One just never knows when it comes to Nature. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning so there is no reason not to make that trip to North Bay for groceries and things. On another note the grass is growing leaps and bounds. I am thinking that next week we will have to mow it for the first time. My vegetable garden is still quite wet so it will take a few days of sunshine to dry it out, so I can till it. With that I am off to have a cup of coffee with my lovely wife and will see what the day has in store. GW
Won’t be long and fresh veggies will be on the table.
Another cloudy, damp dreary day waking up. Temperature was sitting at 6.1 C | 42.98 F Highway 522 is bare and dry which will make traveling good. Today we will see a passing morning shower; otherwise, low clouds and a touch cool. Tomorrow it will probably remain cloudy and if we are lucky we might see some sunshine on Sunday. Not the greatest weekend weather wise. Today I am going to take things a bit easy. My lovely wife and I had a busy week. With that I am off for my morning coffee with some added protein. GW
Well … rainy day. Temperatures were sitting at 5.4 C | 41.72 F A touch cool. Highway 522 is bare so travelling should be good other than the day not being so nice. Today the rain will continue and will carry on into tomorrow. Then on the weekend we should see some sunshine. One can only hope. Other than that not much happening here today. Just kind of taking it a bit easy. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. GW
We woke up to sunny weather. But there is a warning up for heavy rain starting tonight into early Thursday morning. Total rainfall amounts of 30 to 50 mm are possible with the heaviest rain falling Thursday during the day. Temperatures were on the cool side getting out of bed sitting at 0.5 C | 32.9 F Highway 522 is bare and dry which will make travelling good. I would think if your in need of a few things in North Bay this would be the day to go. On another note the trees are really showing some sign of coming out of hibernation, which will give us the look of summer. Lots of Robins searching for worms along with numerous summer birds are entering into the picture each day. It sure is nice watching them coming back each year. With that I am off to have my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will see what the day has in store. GW

Sunny morning at the time of this post. But clouds seem to be moving in. Cool though with temperatures sitting at 2 C | 35.6 F Highway 522 is bare and dry and travelling should be great. Today we should see plenty of sunshine but cool. Tomorrow will be the same but then more rain and colder temperatures for Thursday and Friday. Then nicer weather for the weekend. I hope it warms up some. I would have liked to till up my veggie garden but its been so wet and cold no use doing it. Last year at this time looking at my notes I had my gardens tilled up and the first of next week I planted all my vegetables. First time in 15 years that I beat the black-flies. I don’t see that happening this year. So much for global warming. Of course they will tell you this is the reason for this not so good weather we are having now. You can’t win with these so called specialists. My view on the subject of global warming, it is as it’s suppose to be and has been for millions of years. It’s the trend of what is to be and has been and nothing we are doing like taxing folks to death at the gas pumps and other places is going to make it any better. So with that I am off to have my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store. Maybe I will get my lean-too fixed up a bit as my yearly firewood should be coming soon. That’s where I pile it out of the weather. GW
Well a few clouds greeted us this morning. Today it will be Cloudy, a couple of showers and cooler. Highway 522 is bare and dry at time of post. Tomorrow though we should see some more sunshine. Hopefully the sun will warm things up a touch. It sure was a nice day yesterday. The sun shone all day and was quite warm. I manged to clean up my lawn chairs that were in dire need and washed the car. My lovely wife and I even got in some front porch sitting and enjoyed a drink or two. Can’t beat that. This morning I am taking my car down to my friend Kerry, Booth’s garage here in Port Loring to get serviced and a bit of work done on some other things. Great place to have your vehicle looked after. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store. GW
Well another great looking day. Sun is shinning once again and temperatures are warming up. Waking up they were sitting at 4.3 C | 39.74 F A touch cool but will warm up as the day moves forward. Yesterday I did get some of my equipment running and also managed to roll the front yard. Makes things a lot nicer for mowing and walking. My wife got our small store all set up so it is ready to go. So getting things done. Today I will work on some more equipment like my tiller then in the afternoon do some front porch sitting and take in some sunshine as tomorrow we are back to cloudy conditions and a bit of rain. Just what we need, hmm. With that I am off for my morning coffee with my lovely wife. Great day for travelling if need be. Highway 522 is bare and dry. Bit more traffic too with folks easing their way back into our area. Won’t be long and our population will triple. GW
Really nice morning with lots of sunshine. Makes a fellow want to get out of bed. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout. Grass is green and looking good. Trees are starting to come out in bud and I suspect leaves won’t be far off. Nice to watch every spring. Temperatures were sitting at 5 C | 41 F Great day to be doing anything outside. I am going to see if my mowers and things survived the winter. Getting them running can be a chore when starting them for the first time. Then if things work to plan I might roll my lawn, I have one that you toe behind the mower. Home made one. Doesn’t look the greatest but does the job LOL. Then I am thinking after lunch will do some front porch sitting with my lovely wife. Maybe even a cool one, just because I can. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will get into things. GW
