We have a desert! The area around Kamloops is a desert, it’s not a big one, but it is a proper desert, with sand and everything!

It’s not like, Death Valley, or the Sahara. It’s more like the bits of desert closer to the Rockies in the States. I’ve only been through Kamloops proper once, most of the time going from where I live to Vancouver, it’s going through the Cariboo. But I do remember it being very hot, and, well, desert-y when I was there.

And that’s not even mentioning that basically most of the Canadian Arctic is tundra, which is basically a desert, but with ice instead of sand. And quite a lot less hot.

So basically, the moral of the story is, not all of Canada is cold boreal forests or prairie.

Just a good portion of it.

When we moved here we hated it - it’s hot, everything green dies by June, and it’s smokey all summer from forest fires..

But then a funny thing happened; We put AC in our house, planted a garden, and spend out free time in the mountains. We still get snow to play in, but spring is early and fall lasts a long time. Summers are smokey but so is the rest of the province.

So it’s all good, well until Ajax comes to town;
