@Paco Dennis, your right.

Yesterday was still to warm & still on humid side to turn off the air until last night. We opened up the upstairs windows & by morning, my husband was shutting the ones in the bedroom.

Right now it's 64F with a dew point of 54 & a winds out of the NE around 10. High will only be low 70's. After last week in the 90s with high dew points, I'm loving this weather.

For those that may not know.....This is an actual photograph of the Toronto skyline. The main identifier is the Canadian National Tower in the right hand distance. It used to be the tallest man made structure at just under a third of a mile high. The highway in the right foreground is the Don Valley Parkway, a major traffic artery in the city, which winds northwards out of the downtown core of Toronto. Seen from the air, Toronto is a very green city, due to the large number of mature hard wood trees, but in the fall the colors change to red, gold, yellow and bronze. JIM.

Here in Ontario, the hard wood tree leaves don't start to change color and drop off until the over night temperatures drop to near zero C. That won't happen until well into October.

Cities and towns here prohibit the burning of tree leaves by residents. Instead the fallen leaves are gathered up and placed in big brown paper bags, which are collected by the municipal trucks and taken to open fields where they are turned into compost over the course of the winter. In the spring, the composted materials are dumped in local parks, and the residents bring containers and take the compost to use on their gardens at home. A much better way, compared to the old practice of burning leaves. JIM.
