And lovely to the first week in October? Is this your first Canadian "summer" ?

Once the slacks and long sleeves have to come out, it is no longer 'lovely'

And that's usually round mid-September.

Slacks??? Dear lord, never will I wear Slacks!

But yes I noticed some yellow leaves at the weekend and some crunchy ones on the ground.

Time to start organising the family annual
Guy Fawkes party !

Ah you mean Autumn. Or Automne if you're of a certain persuasion.

If I had the funds to retire and could, my dream would be November to March in San Diego and April to end of October in BC.

We were intending to leave Toronto at the end of August...and take the last cruise to Alaska. Then travel down the west coast. Unfortunately we are not going to make the cruise but may still drive west. That or Florida.

It was chilly yesterday even in Squamish, heck its cool today, feels like September or October more the July.

This July opposite last year when there was no rain at all during the month.
