That sounds like a good place for Andrew or Neal, but not for you and sweet little Mabel!<BR/>Hmmm, I think the boys and I may have to take a road trip next winter, when we are in the middle of freezing cold temps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-1139423472311670442006-02-08T11:31:00.000-07:002006-02-08T11:31:00.000-07:00Know it is hard to get used to-the landscaping of ...Know it is hard to get used to-the landscaping of course-but there are positives.

I'd say, "Yeah, it used to be a desert, but now it looks like anywhere else." Until I came back from my first semester at BYU and realized, by george, that all those cactus are actually unique to the desert. I thought everyone was into them. But I'll never get used to the rock riverbeds and the like. And people who just have entirely gravel yards are just lazy ... not into desert landscape.<BR/><BR/>P.S. It is so weird to me that you now live where I grew up. Why couldn't you have moved last year??Mrs. Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290710205666831891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-1139353003694991042006-02-07T15:56:00.000-07:002006-02-07T15:56:00.000-07:00If you don't like desert landscaping, be thankful ...If you don't like desert landscaping, be thankful you don't live in Tucson. EVERYONE has desert landscaping - I think there's some law requiring it (seriously). Besides, if you had grass, you would be stoned by your water-conserving neighbors. Jake & I are making the most of our desert surroundings. We just got 2 prickly pear cacti for our yard yesterday.
