The box in the picture isn’t like I am going to make, will post a picture of what my wife designed an I made once finished.

Good Morning! As my old Dad used to say: “George, life’s like fixing a tractor… lots of grit, grease, and trying not to lose your temper.”

Well, folks, winter ain’t done with us yet. And if you were hoping’ for sunshine and warm breezes, best keep that shovel handy. Here’s what’s ‘rolling’ in for Port Loring weather wise.

Today (Friday, March 28, 2025)

Cloudy with snow moving in this afternoon—0.4 to 1.2 inches (1 to 3 cm). Could be a bit more. High 31°F (-1°C).

Tonight

More snow, some ice pellets, and a chance of freezing rain. Roads will be slick. Low 25°F (-4°C).

Tomorrow (Saturday, March 29, 2025)

Morning flurries, then just cold and gray. High 34°F (1°C).

Winter Weather Warning Is in Affect

We could see 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of snow and ice pellets, with a risk of freezing rain. Travel could be tricky. If you don’t need to be out, best stay put. Another storm might roll in Sunday, depends which way it tracks.

Might be a good day to keep the fire stoked and enjoy a hot drink. If you do have to head out, drive careful.

Highway 522 is bare and dry at the moment, but that may change if the expected bad weather moves into our area later.

On another note, since yesterday was a pretty nice day, my wife gave me a hand, and we wheeled in some more firewood, as we were getting a bit low. I’m pretty sure we have enough now to last until the warm weather moves in—or at least, I hope so.

After that, I filled up our bird feeders, as we sure do enjoy watching them throughout the day. Then, I settled in and wrote up a couple more stories for my newspaper columns. All in all, it was a busy day, but a good one.

So what are you up to today GW?

Well, I got my old shop stove perking away earlier this morning, so after breakfast, I’m going to make my wife a rolling storage box—well, not exactly a box, but something she can use to store all her canvases for painting. She designed it, just like she has with all the other things we’ve made over the years—which, believe me, has been in the thousands. And I’m not kidding there—we’ve got the pictures to prove it. Should be an interesting project and a nice belated birthday present for her, seeing as her birthday was just yesterday. My style of gift-giving, of course. That should keep me busy for most of the day, but if I find some extra time, I’m thinking about making a few more birdhouses to put up around our place. We’ve got a few already, but I figure another four would be nice. We’ll see how it all works out. I will post some pictures when I get them all made.

Other than that, not much else is going on around our small community—at least, not at the moment. It’s a quiet time of year, and I expect it’ll stay that way until the warmer weather moves in. Then… well, that’s when things will get folks moving around a bit more. My wife and I are both looking forward to some front porch sittin’, enjoying the fresh air and the change of pace.

So with all that in mind, I’m off for my morning breakfast that my little woman has made for me, and then I’ll get to making more memories—because that’s what life is all about. Well isn’t it?

Until next time: Keep your minds open and your stories alive! GW
