- Wherever you are in the world today, I hope you are enjoying summer! Well...that is except for Australian friends who I hope are enjoying winter! Yes, the heat here has been brutal so I am up and out well before dawn trying to get outside chores done before the heat kicks in. I try not to complain as our winters are 6-7 months long and summer is too short. I thank you for stopping by today and I ask you to visit my website at :www.the journey girl.
