So how you all doing on this snowy Friday Morning? Good I hope. Ruth and I are making out pretty good these days. We find … if we don’t have too many aches and pains getting out of bed, our day is headed in the right direction. Highway 522 is snow covered this morning. We didn’t have any snow overnight to speak of, but we are getting some now. I don’t suspect it will amount to too much, maybe an inch or two. And if we are lucky, we might even see a bit of sunshine later on. Which will brighten up everyone’s day.

The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -14.1 C | 6.62 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. It isn’t as cold as it was yesterday, though, which is o k a y with me.

On another note, I kept busy writing up stories yesterday along with feeding our wood furnace. One thing is for certain, I get my exercise going up and down the stairs into the basement to keep the house warm. Which I don’t mind, really, as it also reminds me to bug my lovely wife a bit. I am not sure if you realize this, but women enjoy being bugged by their husband once in a while. Ha Ha.

With that bit of information out of the way. I am off for a bowl of oatmeal this morning, and maybe a cup of tea for a change. I’ll see, I am not a great lover of it. I start off liking it, but then when I sit down to drink it, I don’t. Hmm … perhaps I will just have a coffee and be done with it. I never get tired of it. Take care and have a great day! GW

It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. It has gotten a lot colder, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -21.8 C | -7.24 F. We didn’t have any more snow overnight. Which is okay by me, as I have about had it for this year with the snow and ice. I am looking forward to seeing some green instead of white. Highway 522 is mostly bare, but there are some snow and ice covered areas throughout. I suspect the cold weather will carry on through tomorrow. After that, things will start to warm up.

Knowing that, and taking a close look at things, I am thinking that our summer will be a bit above normal with a few very hot days throughout the summer months, along with more rain and storms than we usually have. Now that is what I figure is going to take place. What Nature has planned, we will have to wait and see. Ha Ha. Basically speaking … As our world changes, so does the weather. It’s kind of looking like things are happening as they did thousands of years ago. Back then the North was hot, and the south was cold, now it’s slowly changing back to what it was many years ago. The world technically is no different from us humans. One year we are wearing bell bottom pants, and then we aren’t, and now they are coming back in style once again. Interesting really.

With that I am off for another boiled egg with a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making me, and will then get to work writing up some more stories … which will free up my days come summer. Have a great day. Make it a great day. It’s all up to you!
