Well Deer Season is closing in fast now.  Tomorrow morning is what a lot of folks have been dreaming of for the past few weeks. Myself, well I enjoy going out that’s for sure.  Some venison in the freezer is a plus but enjoying the company of the folks I hunt with is the big reward to me.  I also enjoy nature at its fullest as where we hunt there is nothing but nature surrounding us.  Great feeling to be out there let me tell ya. I suspect a lot of folks will be getting prepared today and I can just visualize the look on their faces, while getting things ready to leave.  Around town here I have never seen so many hunters heading back into their camps. Cars, trucks, campers; even seen five four wheelers with trailers loaded to the hilt, heading back to where they hunt going up the road here in front of my house yesterday. So much orange I had to put my sunglasses on.  Amazing to say the least.  Good to see so many enjoying life though, doing what nature intended us to do.  Enjoy your day my friends and be careful while out there.  A little bit of common sense goes a long way.

We touched on a lot of subjects relating to health, natural medicines, where to find them in our area, what to look for when out for a walk, planting your own garden, what you put on your body and inside your body and much much more.   All & all we had a great night and would like to thank them all for asking us to participate.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Not to much to report.  Quiet around town.  Lots of weather news with Hurricane Sandy making its way inland through Southern Ontario.  If the truth be known they won’t be as bad off as us up here in the north. Reason being the winds are much higher on the outer part of these storms than the center.  But it is a good thing to be ready for what might happen or could happen, especially in the city, as with so many people all in one location anything is possible.   The saying there is safety in numbers is only partly true.  Enjoy your day my friends.

News For Port Loring

It was brought to my attention of what the exact days of Deer Season is here in Port Loring so thought I should clear that up.  Don’t need anyone heading out there on the wrong day.  Not that I think they would without checking but……..just the same.  The exact days in WMU sections 47 & 48 are from November 5th to November 18th.  Looking forward to it myself.  Couple things to remember is to sight in your old rifle  before heading out, along with making sure everything is up to spec.  I was also told by the experts that using two eyes instead of one for a gun with a scope is much better.  I will have to work on that as I for the first time put a scope on my 358 Browning.  Reason being my right eye isn’t as good as it was many years ago.  Should make things interesting I would think.  Also don’t forget to bring along your hunting knife and make sure it is sharp. Nothing worse than dressing a deer with a dull knife.  If hunting in an area you are not sure of might pay to hang a compass on your coat like I do and learn how to use it.  Never know when it might come in handy. If you got it you probably will never need it, if you don’t……well, I think you get my meaning.  Also don’t forget the colors when out there and keep a sharp eye out for your friends and others while hunting.  Make sure you know what your shooting at in other words.  Also keep them rifles pointed in directions away from yourself and your hunting buddies and never, I mean never, lean your gun up against a fence while crossing. Lost a good friend of mine doing just that.  Enjoy the couple weeks my friends, do things right which I am sure you will and everyone including yourself, will have a great few days hunting.

Interesting Article. Buy Canadian

Worth the ready if you really want to help Canadian Workers

All pickles with the Presidents Choice label and the No Name yellow label [Superstore] are made in India.
Think about it, water from the Ganges is used….

Made in Canada

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students:
That while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn’t slow a train very much, a billion of them  would.
With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously Written by a patriotic Canadian:

Shopping in Lowe’s the other day for some reason and just for the fun of it I was looking at the garden hose attachments
They were all made in China . The next day I was in Home Hardware and just for the fun of it I checked the hose attachments there.
They were made in Canada!

Start looking……..

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else – even their  job & thus our economy & our $’s.

A quote from a consumer: …my grandson likes Hershey’s candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now, instead of Smiths Falls ,
Ontario. I do not buy it any more.

My favorite toothpaste, Colgate, is made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest.

You have to read the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Wall-Mart. I needed 60W light bulbs. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy
was an off-brand labeled, “Everyday Value”. I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats – they were the same except for the price.
The GE bulbs were more money   than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO
and  the Everyday Value brand was made in – get ready for this – a Canadian company in Ontario .

Their Equate Products are also made in Canada , and are very good.

Just to add my own experience on buying Made In Canada , I was looking for canned mushrooms that were made in Canada and could never find
any, so I would buy fresh.  Recently I found Ravine mushrooms – made in Canada with a little red maple leaf on the can.  A little more money but
when I opened the can, I looked at mushrooms that look like real mushrooms, not a mushroom that looks like it was cleaned in bleach.

Another product I no longer buy is Del Monte or Dole canned fruit.Del Monte is packaged in Taiwan and Dole is now a product of China .

Why should we pay for their fruit when our growers are left with fruit rotting on the trees.
E.D. Smith is still made in Canada …. buy theirs, at least you will know what is in it and have some quality control.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here .

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday thing and see what you can find that is made   In Canada.
The job you save may be your own or your neighbor’s’! (Your children & grandchildren, also.)

If you accept this challenge, pass it on to others in your address book so we can all start buying Canadian, one light bulb at a time!

Stop buying from overseas companies!

(We should have awakened two decades ago.)

Let’s get with the program. Help our fellow Canadians keep their jobs and create more jobs here in Canada .

Not to much to report around town, things real quite quiet actually. The weather hasn’t been the greatest lately neither, that doesn’t help ones getting out.  For myself I am slowly getting things done around the house here. Still got to till my garden and plant my garlic. Old back is playing games with me though with the wet cold damp weather.  But this to shall pass. I will say this though; the wood heat sure is pleasant for aches and pains as being so dry.  Not complaining mind ya, still can’t wait to get out of bed each morning.  Also ordered another four cords of firewood. I have around 16 cords of nice dry stuff piled high in the basement, but something is telling me we might just get a longer winter this year.  The more I study nature the more she is telling me that maybe a touch more snow and some colder weather is heading our way.  One item my old grandfather told me years ago is that if the cedars loose more leaves than usual it’s a good sign of lots of snow and ours here around the house have lost over half.  Reason being the leaves would hold the snow and break their branches. Less weight lest damage.  Makes sense to me and pretty smart on their part.  Time will tell.  Well have a great day my friends, turmeric tea time here and see what the day has to offer.
