Desert?

I got a package yesterday!!! It was from my wonderful parents and it was filled with stickers, balloons, candy, magazines and… Christmas cards. Of course I loved reading them and hearing what all the family friends are up to, seeing everyone growing up, etc… And then I got to my own family’s Christmas card and even got to learn something new about MY OWN LIFE. See, despite the fact that I speak to my mother at least once a week and have mentioned more than once that it rains every day, she seems to believe that I live in the “middle of the desert”; And then she broadcasted it to her entire contact list via our Christmas card. So – more for my own mother’s benefit than anyone else – I took this picture when I went on a walk at 6:30 this morning. Maybe it’ll clear things up?
