So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Starting things off here this morning, weather wise, it is cloudy with some light showers. It did rain off and on throughout the night. Which got rid of most of our snow. It’s about 98% gone now. The ice on the lakes is about 75% gone. Most rivers and streams have melted completely. It’s time to put the snowmobiles away for another year. The good news is, while the snowmobiles go into storage, the 4 Wheelers get dusted off and ready. I don’t have one myself. I wished I did, but with the price of them, I can’t afford one. I have been searching for a used one, but so far none has come available. But such is life, you can’t have everything. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 3.7 C | 38.66 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. I don’t suspect we will be seeing much sunshine for the next 4 days.

On another note, my wife was busy yesterday raking all our gardens and the lawn around our house, along with cutting back some plants that we didn’t get to last fall. Sure looks nice now and just in time. As with the rain we had last night, things are really looking nice now. Our Tulips are starting to come up, and our snow drops are out in bloom And our grass is turning green, which is what I like to see. I am tired of white.

On another note, it’s that time of year again for the Masters. If you enjoy golf, this is the event to watch. My wife and I sure enjoy it and can’t wait for it to begin, which starts at 10:30 AM today, and runs through till Sunday afternoon. For 4 days every April, my wife and I sit back, put our feet up, and enjoy. They sure keep the course beautiful, and we enjoy taking in what nature has to offer.

So with that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get the television set up to watch the Golf Game of the Year. Have a great day and stay safe, this virus is starting to take hold now, and the hospitals are filling up. Even in our area, it is taking its toll on folks. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It will remain cloudy pretty well all day. The temperature waking up was sitting at 1.6 C | 34.88 F. It will warm up a few degrees as the day progresses. Yesterday we lost more of our snow, which is okay by me. And we are starting to see a wee bit of green instead of white for a change. Hmm, maybe I might have to think on getting our riding mower along with our walk behind ready for what’s to come. First though, we have to clean things up, as there are a lot of old dead branches that has come down from our pines over the winter. Lots to do this time of year. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good. In saying that, if you have to go anywhere I would recommend you wearing your mask as this virus is catching up to a lot of folks. Better be safe than sorry. Some say it’s no worse than a cold. Some are very sick. And some have died. Myself, I prefer not to chance it.

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 in the woodworking shop. Got lots on the go these days with getting things ready for our gift shop. Take care and stay safe. GW

It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It is still cool with a touch of frost everywhere. The temperature waking up was sitting at -2.8 C | 26.96 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. We might be able to do some front porch sittin’ later on. Looking forward to it. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which will make travelling good today. The ice on the lakes are melting fast these days, I would say it’s about half gone. Still lots to go though, but this warm weather will make short work of it.

On another note, I have been working in the woodworking shop for the past few days getting things in order, along with making a few things that we need here in the house. It’s nice to be able to make your own items. Especially with the price of lumber these days. It’s crazy out there with what they are charging. Especially here in Canada, where we have trees galore and supposedly millions of people wanting jobs. Hard to figure.

I also put some wood in my shop stove with it being a bit cool along with the house furnace. Trying to save a bit of oil with the price of it being ridiculous. So 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. Oh, first I will feed our birds. Can’t forget them as they do give us a lot of enjoyment. Stay safe and have a great day. GW
