AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Alas dear friend, your skies will soon be kissing the cheek of Springtime...and Autumn will be coloring my world...and hopefully cooling it down. It's been BRUTAL for a month here, we aren't used to these heatwaves lasting so long!

But again we will all to soon start bitching about the cold weather...nothing is constant, only the wind and the rain...and it's headin' our way!

Whew, what a summer...think I'll go sit in front of a fan, love that sound, it brings on a moment's tranquility when my tired old eyes rest for bit...a power nap for sure...heehee!

See ya soon at SSS!
