Good Morning! We are finally having a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. Sure nice to see. And on top of that, it isn’t that cold, which makes it even nicer. I did however start my wood furnaces this morning to take the dampness out of the house. After that, I went out and fed my wood stove in my woodworking shop a few sticks; as I like to keep things warm in there, just in case the urge to make things hits me. I have to admit, it is nice having a warm place to work throughout these cold days of winter. So far though, we haven’t had much of a winter. But that will change in a week or so with things getting back to normal. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, but there are a few icy sections here and there. So care should be taken if out and about. On another note, we sure had some strong winds yesterday. Some gusts got up to 85 Kilometres an hour. We didn’t have any damage though other than the tarp moving around on my boat that I covered earlier. But I managed to get it back in place, loosing my hat in the process. I will have to go and see if I can find it in a bit. Not sure where it went as I can’t see it. Maybe it blew around behind my shop. I like that old hat too. LOL. Moving along … I noticed this morning once again that our turkey visitors are back at our bird feeder. Actually, they have been coming to visit us now for over a week. There is one though that has a bad leg, an old girl. I felt sorry for her and gave them a little extra bird seed. It seems to appreciate it as she looks at me with them big eyes of hers. So with that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and will then get to writing up a story or two for my columns. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have another two inches of snow overnight. My Lovely wife and I managed to get our driveway cleaned out yesterday, along with our decks and helping our neighbour. She is getting up there in years as we are, and over the years we kinda took her under our wing so to speak, keeping an eye on her, along with helping with things she can’t do anymore. That’s what friends are for, right? Today I will do some work here on my computer, writing up a story or two. I don’t feel like doing any work in my woodworking shop today. I get that way occasionally. Maybe tomorrow. Highway 522 is bare and wet for most parts, but there are some icy sections here and there. We could see some heavy rain, snow and ice over the next couple of days. Reason being the temperatures are going to start to rise. So knowing that care should be taken if out and about. With that, I am off for a boiled egg along with a pork paddy. We buy our own pork roasts, grind them up, and my wife adds her own spices and things to it. They taste real good. Something like breakfast sausages, but better. Have a great day and stay safe.
