Good Morning! As my old Dad used to say: “George, If you want something done right, do it slow enough to do it right the first time.”
Well folks, it’s another cold morning here waking up in cottage country. However, the sun is shining, and as I walked out to my old woodworking shop to light the stove, I could feel the warmth in the sun. That’s a good sign that spring isn’t all that far off.
Here’s the weather lowdown for Port Loring, Ontario:
Today (Sunday, March 23): We’re looking at mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing’ to a high of 37°F (3°C). Later on, clouds might mosey in, bringing a slight chance of flurries this evening. Winds will be coming in from the southwest at 10 to 20 mph, so hold onto your hat.
Tonight: Temperatures are settlin’ down to a low of 24°F (-4°C). There’s a chance of snow showers overnight, so keep that wood stove stoked and cozy up.
Monday, March 24: Expect periods of snow throughout the day with highs around 35°F (2°C). Winds will be light, but that snow might just blanket our neck of the woods, so keep your shovel handy.
And you might want to keep that fire burning for awhile longer.
Which is what I did this morning lighting back up our wood furnace in our basement. Should keep us nice and toasty for the rest of the day. Doesn’t take much wood to keep this house warm.
Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, and with the sun shining, traveling should be pretty good if you’re headin’ to the city for supplies. But, as I always say, keep your eyes peeled for deer — those critters seem to think the middle of the road is the perfect spot for a morning meeting.
On another note yesterday again I was planning on working in my wood-working shop but with the weather being not so nice and quite cold I decided to stay in the house which I did writing up a couple more stories. Good day for writing with the words flowing like a spring creek.
So, what are you up to today, GW?
Well, I think I’ll be taking it easy today. I brought in a couple of armfuls of firewood and managed to mess up my back a bit. Not sure what I did, but it’s sure letting me know it’s time to lay low — and my wife’s saying the same thing. So, that’s what I’m going to do.
After that, if I’m feeling up to it, I’ll be enjoying the breakfast she’s getting ready for me. I suppose a fella’s got to learn his limits.
