I have no idea what it actually is, but I love the days when I smell it and have a little flashback to my 3 months in Australia over 20 years ago. <br />New follower too!<br /><a href="http://a2zmommy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A2Z Mommy and What’s In Between</a>Tracy MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615611919340469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-5860999017894216122012-08-12T04:06:01.630+09:302012-08-12T04:06:01.630+09:30Wonderful post.Wonderful post.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-27361104652330231672012-08-12T03:49:26.124+09:302012-08-12T03:49:26.124+09:30Awesome post, Tracy--good reminder.

I know that when the summer comes here it will be fine until we have one of those weeks where the temperature rises to about 45C and stays there for a week. Then we'll all be complaining that we can't sleep! We don't normally have too much humidity, though, so I can be thankful for that.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490102426728960849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-89109266494193975642012-08-11T09:44:26.286+09:302012-08-11T09:44:26.286+09:30Thanks Liz, I'll take a look at that.Thanks Liz, I'll take a look at that.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490102426728960849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-75265813966855861192012-08-11T09:43:45.006+09:302012-08-11T09:43:45.006+09:30Yeah, there's nothing like having to wear sung...Yeah, there's nothing like having to wear sunglasses to fetch in the washing against the glare of the whites in the sunlight!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490102426728960849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-78700476365232603732012-08-11T09:42:32.742+09:302012-08-11T09:42:32.742+09:30The dolphins are amazing, especially when they com...The dolphins are amazing, especially when they come in close to shore and swim with you as happened to my husband last summer!

I squint at the trees, assess the weather changes, look at the shadows the sun is casting on the ground at this time every year aching for spring to shout that summer is coming. I hate the cold dark days (though I do have to say that if you travel in winter, you can get some spectacular weather scenery in the open or on the coast). I need my sunlight, or I'm a wilted flower..or maybe some kind of fungus.<br /><br />And yeah, getting the washing dry in two hours versus two days is always a plus. Just don't leave it out there or the sun will literally eat it :D<br /><br />LizLiz Powleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947609251756134536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874458070843154492.post-66486311186473766042012-08-10T18:55:14.658+09:302012-08-10T18:55:14.658+09:30Dolphins!!!! :) well although you are currently in...Dolphins!!!! :) well although you are currently in your winter, I have to say that your summer when it comes, sounds like it will be amazing.

I may have to though, as it would certainly be an experience. Thanks for sharing xxJosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326304210756061011noreply@blogger.com
