Good Morning!. It’s not so good a day outside this morning. We are at the moment having some freezing rain, which I suspect will change to mostly rain or flurries as the day progresses. On the good side of things it is a lot warmer with the temperature sitting at 0.5 C | 32.9 F. It will warm up even more, as the day moves forward. And the good news is the warmer weather will remain with us for two or three more days before cooling down. Highway 522 is partially snow covered with some icy sections throughout. So care should be taken if out and about. For my wife and I we don’t have anywhere, so we will be staying home. Yesterday I made a dump run so that is out of the way for a couple of weeks. Today I will work away on a podcast or two taking it a bit easy. Other than that … not much else happening in and around our small community. I should say it is small in people, but large in land mass LOL. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops. You just never know what a day has in store. I am hoping all good. Take care, stay safe and look after yourself, family and friends.

Good Morning! Well for a change we are in the midst of some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. But in saying that, it is cool with temperatures sitting at 39F/5C. It will warm up a wee bit, but not much as the day moves forward. Tonight will be down to near freezing. It’s a sign of what’s to come for us here in the North. Highway 522 is a touch busy this morning with lots of trucks moving around the area and a few locals doing what comes naturally. LOL Yesterday my wife and I went to North Bay for some groceries and things. Picked up everything, visited our son in his apartment parking lot, dropped off one of our computers for him to repair, had lunch and a coffee alongside the highway and came on home. We usually pack a lunch and a thermos of coffee to take with us. That way we don’t have to go into any stores. Our groceries we order and pay online, and then they bring them out to our car. Pays to be cautious. Also, it should be noted that the leaves are sure turning colour-fast. I would say next weekend will be the best of the best for seeing them. It sure is nice to see the artistic values that Mother Nature has to offer every year. On another note we did see hundreds of kids heading off to Tim Hortons and places at noon while in North Bay. I think we only seen about six out of hundreds that were wearing a mask. Some groups had as many as ten to twenty young ones all close together. I am not sure where their minds are. I am afraid of what will happen in the days ahead. Some schools already are having some outbreaks. The thing is … these kids get it then pass it on to family and friends. Most of them might be able to fight it off but the older folks like parents and teachers might not be able to. Going to be interesting to say the least. On another note, today my wife and I will do some mowing around the house here, as it is still growing leaps and bounds. But first we will have a coffee together. Take care and be extra careful out there today. We are well over the 300 hundred a day mark for new cases, and that total is rising.

Well a lot have asked my true feelings on life …. and taking a close look at things, I kind of figure that this man says it all.

Today many of us have started using homemade cloth masks to help stop the spread of corona-virus. But with more evidence being found ever day, things has shown that not all masks are created equal, and some don’t work at all. In order for a homemade cloth mask to stop viral transmission, it needs to have at least two layers of fabric. So, if your mask has just one layer of fabric, you can pretty well bet that it simply doesn’t work. But in saying that … until you get a good one, it is better than nothing. Common Sense will tell you that. Stay Safe!

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy day here to start things off in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures were nice sitting at 15.4 C | 59.72 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward. We should see some sunshine in a wee bit. Highway 522 is quiet this morning, but it is early. It will pick up a lot later on. Not to much happening in and around our town these days. I been busy working on some things in the shop that I have on the go, along with my Podcasts. Our vegetable gardens are growing leaps and bounds, and we had our first cucumbers yesterday for lunch. The zucchini is coming along too, and I suspect we will have one of them in some Spaghetti in a couple days. Today I will head on off to the dump and then work in my shop for a bit. With that … stay safe an do what’s right, when it comes to this virus that is going around. GW

Today my old weather stick says that Fishing will be so so once again. I give it a 3 Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!

Just a reminder for those that have asked. That my Podcast relating to the virus which is spreading across the world will be aired at 12:00 PM today. It’s a half hour show so make sure you have the time to listen.

Nice looking day starting things off here in Port Loring, Ontario. The sun is shinning and temperatures are sitting at 3.5 C | 38.3 F. It’s nice to see them warmer temperatures. The barometer is falling and my old weather stick is predicting some heavy rain for later on today and through tonight. Which should get rid of a lot of this snow we have on the ground at the moment. Highway 522 is bare and dry for now, which will make travelling good. If you have to go anywhere this morning would be the best time to travel, or wait till tomorrow. We didn’t have any snow overnight. Today I will work away here on some projects I have to do around the house. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife. Have a great day. GW

Just One More Story by George Walters

Well it is one cold morning here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. Waking up temperatures were sitting at -18.1 C | -0.58 F. We didn’t have any snow overnight. Highway 522 does have some icy sections throughout and along with some snow covered areas. It will be a good day for travelling but care should be taken. We should also see some sunshine today, but with these cold temperatures you won’t feel the warmth much. With the winds coming in from the North West it will feel just that much colder. Today I have a few things to do around the house here and in my shop so that should keep me out of trouble for a while. With that I am off for a bite to eat. GW

A while back our friend Carrie dropped by with her horse Rhythm. It’s always great to see them, as years ago I had a horse almost identical. Every time I see Rhythm she brings back a lot of memories. And yes a carrot or two was in order. She is a good poser too when it comes to taking pictures. Just look at that hind leg. Made my day. LOL

Here are a few pictures of our area here in Port Loring Ontario Canada. Sure is nice out there when the sun is shinning.

Now I said my lovely wife and I enjoy watching the birds that come to visit our feeder every day, but today we had a different kind drop by for a visit. The pictures aren’t as good as I would have liked as I had to take them through my screen. I didn’t want to scare it off. We get quite a few deer drop by throughout the winter. Nice to see. A couple days ago we had a young one say hello. I was wondering where its Mother was.

Now here is a picture of a good friend of mine and myself taking in what Nature has to offer. Felt good being out there that day. Nature can be nice I grant you that, but so are friends. I wonder if he will remember. LOL

Some of you have asked me if I had a picture of where I was raised in Coldwater, Ontario, in the early days. These folks Adopted me and raised me from around 5 Years old till around 13 Years old. Reg and Laura Potter. The Nicest folks you could ever meet. They treated me as one of their own from the very first day. Later on in life I went back to my Dads in Beamsville Ontario for a while, then I took up fruit farming. We took the pictures one winters day from the road above the property looking down. The farm was mostly dedicated to Dairy Farming at the time. Great memories for sure.

My wife and I enjoy watching the birds as I have mentioned in my posts, but this morning we had two visitors that took our interest. 2 Pileated Woodpeckers. The picture is a bit blurry as I had to take it looking out my screen window, as I didn’t want to scare them. We have them occasionally but usually just one. Thought I would share
