Aches and Pains Due To Weather.  Today there is a risk that the weather could cause a few pains.  So care should be taken.   Colder weather will be back with us later on in the week which in turn will help fight off all them flu and cold germs that are being spread around.  If sick my friends stay home.  Then once better build up your immunities naturally.

Around Town:  Myself I just been getting things back in order after our trip to Florida.  Got some painting to do then will get on with making my Native American Flutes for the year.  I like to have around 50 or so on hand come summer.  My wife she is busy painting up a few items of choice which will also be available at her art studio come spring.  So, yep we are keeping busy.  Busy but not in the sense of the word of it being a chore, as it isn’t.  We are doing things we enjoy.  Huge difference.  No better place to do this than right here in Port Loring Ontario Canada.  Enjoy your day my friends.  GW

Another nice day here waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at 65 F.
