Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The sun did show itself a wee bit earlier. We will probably see some snow later on this afternoon or late this morning. Highway 522 is bare and dry at the moment, with a few icy sections once you’re past Farleys Corners heading East. Seems that stretch of highway 522 is always bad. On another note, I have been working on a couple new podcasts for the past few days along with some more stories for my columns I write for in newspapers and magazines. Keeps me busy and my mind active. Today I suspect I will do much the same. My lovely wife has been busy putting up some Christmas decorations inside the house. Next weekend, she will put up our tree, which means Christmas isn’t far off. Other than that, not much happening in and around our small community. Oh! I guess I could mention that a lot of blue jays are visiting our bird feeder this morning. Along with a few doves, which we like to see. I think they wait in the trees for me to put out some feed every morning. With that, take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Ruth and I are fine so far these days. Normal aches and pains. Some related to the weather, and some related to getting a touch old. But no complaints, really. Waking up, I see things have warmed up a lot with the temperature getting out of bed, sitting at 5.1 C | 41.18 F. It will remain that way with a shower or two for most of the day. I kind of think, by the way my old weather station is looking, we will be in for some more snow along with a lot colder weather, heading into the weekend. But it is December. Speaking of December, Christmas isn’t that far off. 23 Days. We won’t be going anywhere this Christmas, once again. Our youngest son is going to try and come visit for a few days. Our oldest is heading out West for his Christmas. My lovely wife has put up her outside decorations, and today she is going to start putting up her inside decorations. She sure enjoys doing it. I have to admit, it does get you in the Christmas Spirit. LOL Yesterday I worked around the house here, today I am going to work on a story or two, along with my Podcast for tomorrow. I am also working on a Christmas Podcast which I will post on December 24 the day before Christmas. Highway 522 is bare but wet this morning. Understandable with the weather being so warm and a bit of rain coming down. So it should be good for travelling for those that are in need of doing some shopping. I have heard, that over half of our population here in Ontario is shopping online this year. I suspect that is a good thing with this new variant edging into the picture. But in saying that Pfizer says its vaccine will be strong against the new virus, that is if you have had two shots. And they are working on a new on just in case. So that is good news. With that I am off for a bacon and egg breakfast, with some of our own potatoes fried up a bit with some butter and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. Life is like a good mystery novel. You never know what the next page might bring. Take care, my friends, and stay safe. GW
