Good Morning! Once again, the sun is shinning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at-4.8 C | 23.36 F. It will warm up as the day progresses, but the sunshine should remain with us for most of the day. Then clouds will roll in for tonight and the temperature will begin to rise, which will bring us some more rain for a couple of days. After that old man winter, will start showing itself. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those that have to go anywhere. We did however have a skiff of snow through the night, but nothing that will remain with us. On another note I did do some work on my blog yesterday adding a few things. Basically made things easier for folks to manoeuvre around and find things. Today I will work away on another story for my newspaper columns. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife and will then see what develops. Enjoy your day, my friends, and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Hey! We are having some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, this morning. That’s a nice change. But it has gotten colder, with the temperature sitting at -3.9 C | 24.98 F. It will warm up a touch, but not much as the day progresses. I am thinking mid-week it will warm up above the freezing mark, but then it will get cold once again. So roller coaster weather for a few more days before winter gets settled in. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today if you have to go anywhere. I don’t think we have anywhere to go for another week or so. Yesterday I worked away on a story or two and today will do the same. It’s kind of nice to sit back with our wood heat on these cold days and look out. We still feed our birds which comes to our feeder every morning, noon, and night. I have to say, we get a lot of enjoyment watching them. Right now the birds we see are Blue-Jays, Morning Doves, Chickadees and Nuthatches, and a few Black Birds. On another note, I see there are a lot of sales this year for Black Friday. We did take advantage of a few things, as right now we can buy what we are in need of, for half price. The trick is not to overspend, and what you do buy needs to be paid off immediately if you’re using a credit card. Which we do. Over the years, my lovely wife and I have used these Mastercard Companies, instead of them using us. I do know it’s not easy for some, as it doesn’t take much for a person to get hooked, and them interest rates they charge, are outrageous. So best to be careful. I have always said … “Fill your needs, not your wants.” With that bit of info under your hat, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, that’s for certain. Take care and stay safe, the numbers are still rising with this virus here in Ontario. Wear your mask!

Good Morning!. Starting things off it is a cloudy wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We haven’t seen any sun for a few days now, which health wise isn’t the greatest. That’s where a Vitamin D3 supplement comes in handy. I would say that every one in the North or elsewhere should be taking a 1000 IU once a day. As most of us are low compared to where we should be. The temperature outside still hasn’t been all that cold. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at 2.8 C | 37.04 F. We could see our first snow of any accumulation later on today, tonight and into tomorrow. It kind of depends on how soon the temperatures start to fall. At any rate, there should be no complaints about the weather this Fall, as it has been quite nice. Highway 522 as of now is a bit wet from the rain but bare. On another note, I took a look at my garlic I planted earlier in the year, and it still isn’t showing itself, which is a good thing. I don’t like to see it up above the ground too much before the freezing weather hits. I did though put a good layer of leaves over most of them. We will see how that pans out, come spring. Yesterday I worked in my old woodworking shop getting things ready to do up some orders I have waiting. In a couple of days I will get to that. With that, I am off for some homemade waffles that my lovely wife is making me, and will then see what the day has in store. Maybe I will write up a story or two for my columns. That is, if anything comes to mind. Getting harder and harder to find a good subject after all these years. Take care and stay safe. The numbers are rising here in Ontario with this virus. Not a good thing, for sure. GW
