Good Morning! It’s a bit cloudy here in Port Loring, Ontario this morning, We should see some sunshine off and on for most of the day. If you have some outside work to do, today is the day as tomorrow some rain is entering into the picture which, actually, could last for a few days. The black flies are gone now for the year in most places. The mosquitoes are still annoying in the shady areas. And the horse and deer flies are enjoying themselves. Highway 522 is busy with a lot of campers moving into our area. I suspect it will get a lot busier now that we are closing in on July. For my wife and we have been exceptionally busy these days taking down a bunch of old dead pines. We have them pretty well all cleaned up now, but it was a lot of hard work on our part getting it done. We both are feeling it. We have two more smaller ones to take down, and then our property should be in good shape. So we will get that done up this morning after I sharpen my chain saw. Once that is done we will be taking it easy for a day or so as rain is in the forecast, which is probably a good thing as it will force us to take a break LOL. As of now, we have taken down 10 Huge Jack Pines. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of cereal with my lovely wife and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We will also see some rain today, and temperatures will cool down overnight and into tomorrow. But after that, things should get back to normal. I was going to do some outside work today, but the way things are looking weather wise, I guess there will be a change in plans. So knowing that, I guess I will clean up my woodworking shop once again. With all the work, my lovely wife and I have been doing, my old shop has been a mess. But not complaining, as it is nice to have the tools and ability to do these things ourselves. Highway 522 is still quite busy these days, and I suspect things will remain that way for the next two months or so. Especially now that the numbers are dropping with infections from this virus. I am hoping it will remain low, but once we open up … that will be the real test. I am thinking there is still a lot of folks not vaccinated, which in turn will drive up the numbers. But we will see. On another note, the black flies are all but gone, but the mosquitoes, horse flies and deer flies are still with us, and will remain with us for the rest of the summer. Joys of living in the north. But it’s not so bad. As our Powers That Be … keep on saying, the benefits out way the risks, LOL. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, and will then see what the day has in store. You just never know. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning, and Happy Father’s Day to all those Fathers out there. It’s a great looking day weather wise here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning with just a few clouds floating by in the sky. Along with that, the temperature is actually quite nice, sitting at 16.3 C | 61.34 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Tomorrow though is another story, as rain and colder weather is going to enter into the picture. And on Tuesday it will be a touch cold, comparing it to the weather we have been having. After Tuesday, though, things are looking pretty darn good weather wise. Not to hot, not to cold. Highway 522 is busy these days with campers, trucks, you name it moving into our area for the summer. I can’t say I blame them, especially those living in the cities. But in saying that, I hope they are taking the necessary precautions in preventing this virus from spreading. The vaccine helps, but it isn’t the all round cure, as even with two doses a person could get really sick. But it’s the best defence we have at the moment in staying alive or from getting deathly sick. On another note, our vegetable gardens are growing leaps and bounds these days. I even got some blossoms on my tomatoes. In a month or so we should be having a few for our table. I can’t wait. I did get my hoe out yesterday and cleaned some weeds up. My lovely wife and I have been really busy these days. We almost finished up our shower house. The wife still has a few things she wants to do inside, making it look extra nice. She is a great designer and over the years has designed a lot of homes, inside and out. Talking about my little woman, she has been really busy too with orders coming in from all over for her signs and paintings. Signs and paintings of all kinds. If someone has an idea, she brings it to life. She is an amazing artist to say the least. We also have been taking down a lot of old dead pines on our property, which opened things up, and I have to say it is looking pretty darn nice around here. With the lawn mowed and gardens worked up and cared for, it is almost as if we live in a well cared for park. It’s a pleasure to sit outside and take it all in. Today I am going to take it a bit easy and rest a bit. With all the work we have been doing, my old body is feeling a bit tired, and later on I will enjoy a nice turkey dinner that my lovely wife is going to make for me for Father’s Day. Can’t beat that. So … with that bit of info under your hat, if you wear a hat that is, I am off for my morning bowl of cereal. Take care and stay safe. GW
