The First Day of Summer

December 1 is the first day of summer in Australia. It seems appropriate then that today I am getting to experience the first snowstorm of the season here in northern Illinois. Right now my nieces are frolicking around in the first couple of inches that have fallen, but I am worrying about how this will affect my travel plans of driving 11 hours to Arkansas tomorrow. Tonight the wind is supposed to pick up and cause drifting on the roads. Lucky me.

Oh what a sight for sore eyes. I'm looking out over Sydney Harbour right now, but how refreshing it would be to see a scene like that right about now. Hope your trip is great. I'll be statside in 8 days!

It's 90 degrees and rising today. I'm jealous of your snow!
