Good Morning! Living where we do, if you listen close, you can hear the quiet wisdom of the woods waking up.
It’s a bit cloudy this morning here in Cottage Country. We did have a touch of sunshine sneaking over the horizon earlier, painting the eastern sky with a warm, rosy glow. Sure was a sight for tired eyes to see, and a great way to kick off the day. Nothing’ like a good sunrise to put a feller in the right frame of mind, even if the clouds are trying’ to take over.
Today (Saturday, March 15):
- High: 56°F (13°C)
- Low: 49°F (10°C)
- Outlook: It’s looking like a mild but cloudy day, with some showers passing through. So, if you were thinking of digging in the garden, you might want to put that on hold—not that you’d get a shovel into the ground with all that snow still stickin’ around.

Special Weather Statement:
They’re calling for some heavy rain this weekend, with totals between 0.6 to 1.6 inches (15 to 40 mm). Funny thing is, when you hear it in inches, it doesn’t sound all that bad. Just another reason why I ain’t a fan of the metric system as it sure knows how to make things sound worse than they really are! The frozen ground isn’t soaking much of it up, so keep an eye out for pooling water and local flooding. Good day to stay dry and enjoy a little time indoors.
Highway 522 is bare and so far dry which once again will make traveling good if your in need of heading into the big city for supplies.
On another note, I spent the day once again in my woodworking shop, sorting things out and getting ready for the sale later this spring. I’m making some good headway now, which sure feels a lot better. I have to admit, when I first started, it was a real dilemma—like trying to carve a straight line out of a twisted log. But, just like any project, if you tackle it a bit at a time, the pieces start to fit together. As any woodworker would tell ya,
With that, I’m off for the breakfast my little woman’s been putting together. Then, we’ll settle in with our regular cup of hot cocoa—just like we’ve been doing every morning for over fifty years.
Until next time, keep your minds open and your stories alive! GW
