Good Morning! Just like sanding wood, it’s the rough patches in life that teach you how to smooth things out.
It’s a bit cloudy waking’ up here in cottage country, but the good news is it ain’t all that cold, which is melting’ a lot of our snow and ice. You know, as much as I enjoy our winters here in the north, I’m always ready for spring.
Now, let’s take a quick look at the weather forecast for Port Loring, Ontario:
Today (Tuesday, March 11):
High: 39°F (4°C)
Low: 7°F (-14°C)
Conditions: Mostly cloudy; breezy this morning’ with a brief shower or two, followed by a bit of rain this afternoon.
Tonight:Low: 7°F (-14°C)
Conditions: Mostly cloudy with temperatures dropping’ significantly.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, March 12):High: 33°F (0°C)
Low: 19°F (-7°C)
Conditions: Cloudy skies throughout the day.
So, it looks like Mother Nature’s giving’ us a mixed bag, warmer temps today with a chance of showers, then cooling’ off tonight and staying’ chilly tomorrow. Might be a good idea to keep that extra log on the fire and your old boots handy.
As the old saying goes living in this country: If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes… it’ll change!
Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning which in turn will make traveling pretty good if you have a mind to head off to the big city for supplies.
Which is exactly what my wife and I did yesterday. We took a trip to visit our son, with him helping’ us out with a few things. After all that, we treated him to a late dinner at Casey’s, where we had a nice meal and a drink together. Good food, good company, can’t ask for much more than that.
Afterward, we dropped him off at his place, picked up some much-needed groceries, and grabbed ourselves a hot cup of coffee for the drive home. Nothing like a good coffee to keep ya sharp when you’re driving down those back roads.
The drive home was downright beautiful. We had the pleasure of watching’ one of the nicest sunsets I’ve seen in a while. The sun was setting’ so slow and easy, painting’ the sky with colors that even had my wife impressed, and she’s been painting’ masterpieces for over fifty years. It was like the sun decided to put on a show just for us, before calling’ it a night.
You know, I have found on days or evenings like this that the sun doesn’t rush off to the other side of the world after all. It just takes its sweet ol’ time, enjoying’ the view just like we were.
So, what are you up to today, GW? Well, today I’m gonna get back to sorting out things in my old woodworking shop that i started a couple days ago. I lit the shop stove earlier on, so it should be nice and warm by the time I finish up the breakfast my lovely wife has waiting for me. And I’d better get to it before she decides it’s too late for breakfast and turns it into lunch!
