Good Morning! It’s a cloudy Friday morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It has been nice temperature wise for the past few days. This morning it was sitting at 20.6 C | 69.08 F. It will warm up a lot as the day progresses. The blackflies have been bad for the past few days, and they will remain with us till Father’s Day. The mosquitoes are just starting. I think in a lot of ways they are worse than the blackflies. And they love this hot muggy weather. But as I always say … we live in the north, and they are part of the package for living in paradise. LOL Highway 522 is busy these days with folks moving in from other areas. There was an accident on Highway 69 last Wednesday as they were rerouting the traffic our way to highway 11. On another note, my lovely wife and I did get our mowing all finished yesterday, so we are good for another week. The grass is sure growing these days which is nice to see. I like to gather ours and pile it in spots around my vegetable gardens. Then, when it rots a bit, I spread it in between the rows, which in turn makes for some pretty tasty vegetables. I can’t wait till our tomatoes are ready. They won’t be ready for a while though, as this year the plants are quite small. Talking about our vegetable gardens, my wife and I did manage to get it over half planted yesterday. We were sure tired at the end of the day, after mowing, tilling the gardens and then planting. But we slept good. LOL Today our firewood is coming which is a good thing, as it gives it time to dry through the hot days of summer. This year being so dry we are thinking the delivery feller can back right up to where we are going to pile it, which will sure make things a lot easier for us. We won’t have to move it twice. We will see how that goes in a bit. Other than that, not much else happening in and around our small community. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Well, it’s been a couple of days since my last post. The reason being my lovely wife and I have been extra busy working on some outside things. The weather has been nice other than a shower or two. This morning the temperature was sitting at16.7 C | 62.06 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Actually it is going to get down right hot for a couple of days. On another note, the black flies have been real bad the past few days. Now the mosquitoes are starting to enter into the picture and this hot, damp, muggy weather will bring them out in droves. Not much we can do about it, as this is the north, and what will be, will be. Yesterday my wife and I went to town to pick up our groceries that we order online. It sure was busy with people moving around all over. So much for being closed down. While there we visited our son in his apartment parking lot. Dropped off a few things, had a chat and went to pick up a few vegetable plants that we ordered for our gardens. Which we will get to planting hopefully later on today. We will have to see what the weather is going to do. Boy are plants expensive this year. It seems that everyone is raising the prices on things relating it to the virus that is among us. Being as old as I am and not being fooled as much these days … I would say there is a lot of price gouging going on. Not a good thing and really there is no reason to be doing this. But … it is what some humans do. After we picked up our plants and had a chat with our son, we had our lunch in our car with a cup of coffee my wife made for us before we left and headed for home. Actually we had a great day. With that I am off for some bacon and eggs that my wife has made for me and will then get to mowing the lawn. Take care and stay safe.
