Good Morning! So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Ruth and I are so, so with a few issues, mostly caused by getting a touch older. But we are dealing with them on a daily basis. My theory is, figure out the problem, then figure out the cause, then do something about it, naturally if possible. And then go from there. On another note it has been cool for the past couple mornings with the temperature this morning sitting at … -0.8 C | 30.56 F. It will warm up a bit as the day progresses. We could see a shower or some light snow off and on today. Highway 522 is busy but not too busy as most of the hunters are back in the bush. It will pick up a wee bit near the end of the week when they all get tired of being out in the cold. LOL Yesterday I didn’t do too much other than a few things around the house. I did rake a few leaves and dug out the remainder of my kale that I had left to grow in our vegetable garden. It was about done for this year. Today I will work away on another Podcast and a story I have in mind for the Newspapers I write for. Which will keep my mind occupied for most of the day. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what develops. Other than what I have planned. Have a great day, take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It isn’t that cold this morning, with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 5.7 C | 42.26 F. It will warm up a touch more as the day progresses. No one can complain about the weather for the past few days, that’s for sure. My lovely wife and I have sat outside enjoying our afternoon coffee now for the past few days. We might be able to do it again today, as we should see some sunshine later on in the day. Let’s hope things work out. Highway 522 is still very busy, as is the LCBO. It’s the busiest store in town, LOL. On another note, things are starting to dry out around our home, as it sure has been wet. My vegetable garden is more like a lake than a garden these past few weeks, LOL. But things dry up fast in this country, with the soil being rocky and sandy. The grass is still growing, but it also is slowing down a bit. I won’t be cutting it anymore this year. The leaves on the trees are all but gone. There are a few holdouts, like the Silver Birch and the Silver Maples, along with the Oak trees. They seem to hold onto their leaves till the last minute. I guess they hate to see the summer end. Can’t say I blame them. Yesterday I worked on a new podcast along with some stories for my columns I write for in the newspapers. This morning I will do the same and then this afternoon when the sun comes around to our front porch we will be sitting outside taking in some much-needed Vitamin D3. I would think living in this part of Ontario that almost everyone is very low in vitamin D. Without it, we open the door to all kinds of virus’s and things. So it would pay to take a good supplement of the D Vitamin every day. Around a 1000 IU should do it. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s another sunny morning for us here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature this morning was cool, sitting at -0.3 C | 31.46 F. It’s the first morning that we have had ice in our bird bath. I guess I had better put it away for winter. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Actually … my lovely wife and I sat out on our front porch yesterday and enjoyed our coffee. Which was quite nice. And by the looks of things, we might be able to do it again today. Might as well take advantage of this weather as long as it lasts. Highway 522 is still busy these days, and I suspect it will continue to be busy for the next few weeks. Once the snow hits, things will slow down drastically. Yesterday, I worked away on a podcast and a few stories, along with trying to fix a few things that are happening with my wife’s computer. No luck. So … I will drop it off at my son’s place in North Bay in a few days for him to fix. We are lucky to have a feller that can do these things. Today I have a few things to move around outside, so best get at that before the snow flies. Easy to do now. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and a cup of fresh perked coffee. Just the smell of it gets me motivated, LOL, Have a great day and stay safe. This virus hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s still lurking in the wings, patently waiting for its next victim.
