For today, at least, we've waved good-bye to the oppressive heat and humidity which has ground us all to a halt here in sunny southern Ontario. My husband was off to a morning breakfast before work so I got up and walked before 8 o'clock by myself . It was actually cool! I hoofed along for 35 minutes at a good pace without needing to slow down and get my breath. Guess the air quality is better, too.

Here are Beth and Chelsea discovering the kids' water playground on Vansittart Ave. We enjoyed watching Chelsea and Ben inch into the spray for the first time.


This has been such a hot summer that places like this are always busy but not too busy.
