At the end of last week and beginning of this week, the weather has been gloomy for a few days, but there has been no significant rainfall. By mid-week the days are a nice mix of sun and cloud. Daytime temperatures are in the mid-70's and overnight in the high 50's to mid-60's. The trees are just starting to turn colour with hints of gold.
