What’s different: the vegetation

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 at 20:55 | categories: What's different

It’s time for the second part of my “What’s different” series. This time I’ll be talking about the plants and green things–not including aliens, though.

As I’ve said before, when I left Finland January 4th there was 50cm of snow everywhere and the thermometer showed -20C. Here, however, the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Take me home! (No, don’t!) The palm trees are swaying in the sun and supposedly all the other trees get their leaves in February. What’s even funnier to me, is that there are orange and lemon trees with ripe fruit in them. And not only oranges and lemons, there are also clementines, limes and probably a lot more that I haven’t noticed. What’s up with all the fruit?
