The temperature dropped considerably overnight with some frost warnings in the wider region. The day felt cooler than it was due to the gusty westerly winds. When I went to the evening farmers mini-market, the vendors -- all outdoors today -- were wearing puffer vests and fleece. Now the air temperature was in the high teens (high 60s F) but the wind made it all feel so much cooler. Despite that I had a great chat with the vendor I got produce from today -- little patty pan squash, big slicing tomatoes and (a favourite) small orange cherry tomatoes.
Into the early evening, I went out for a walk. As I walked back home heading west, I looked up in the sky and saw the sun -- now a vivid orange. The smoke from the West coast US has reached the Atlantic coast of Canada today. High level smoke made it feel like there were clouds, but it was haze. This will be with us for a while now I expect, likely getting closer to the air we breathe.
A song came to mind today. It may come to this in the next days. It is from a time long, long ago. <smile> Stay safe. Enjoy!
Smoke gets in your eyes -- The Platters
