Porte Photos’ Daily Pic: May 1st, 2025 – May Day

“Anger manages
everything badly”

Born on: 1st May 1527

Porte Ponderings:

May 1st, the day Port Glasgow Trailer Park is officially open for the 2025 season. And it’s last season to be managed by the Corporation of the Municipality of West Elgin. We signed “license to occupy” agreements instead of “leases” so we no longer have the right to vote in Municipal Elections. We are required to pay a $1,000 deposit to ensure we vacate our sites prior to the end of October 2025. The Municipality intends to sell (or some other solution) the trailer park. I’m hoping the Municipality decides to lease the trailer park to a group representing the residents and we get to stay.

Porte Photos’ Daily Quote: April 23rd, 2024

The only failures
are those who fail to try.

~ Lester B. Pearson
14th prime minister of Canada.
Awarded the 1957 Nobel peace prize
Born on: 23rd April 1897

Porte Ponderings:

If only we had a leader like Lester B. Pearson now. Someone who could negotiate a peaceful agreement in the Middle East. Someone to put an end to this senseless bombing and killing.

On my walk this morning I met one of my ex-supervisors and friends, Joan Mavrovich. She looks so young, trim and healthy. She and her husband still walk everyday, rain, snow or sunshine.

DAILY TAROT: P PAGE OF WANDS

I am planting new seeds and I am
willing to learn how to grow them.

Figuratively and literally. I love starting my plants in my little greenhouse. Harold is building a new shelf for me that will almost double the amount of space for my seedlings. Of course it cost twice as much as buying one, but it will be custom made with love. ❤
