Porte Ponderings:
Grandma Camp is my favorite time of year. I book time with my Grandchildren and we do special things together. The first 2 weeks are now over. We went swimming, slept in, went to the zoo. As my grandchildren get older it’s hard to imagine how long we’ll be able to continue our little tradition. This will be the first year of high school for my first grandson. I hope we will continue to enjoy time together. ❤

Week 2 of Grandma Camp. The temperature of Lake Erie has now reached bath tub comfortable. I joined my eldest grandson swimming in the clear calm lake. I have never seen the lake be so clear and so calm for so many days in a row.

Happy Birthday to my first Grandson, turning 11 today going on 40. Enjoy all the adventures life has to give you. ❤
While we were kayaking on the Old Ausable Channel the Cormorant in todays pictures swam beside my grandson and then climbed onto this branch to pose for us.
In the summer of 2020 the Ontario Government introduced hunting seasons for the Cormorants. Not based on science or the preservation of birds in Ontario, but because of a general fear that cormorants fish. I’m not against hunting for food but this is just killing for sport. Contact your local MPP and demand they stop this slaughter. There is no scientific proof that Cormorants are dangerous to the environment and no justification for the daily numbers of kill permitted.
