Gardening

is where I am. It gets to 100+ several times during our summers, so those plants may work for me too. Xeriscaping, that's the term I couldn't remember. lol

My neighborhood has lots of large, mature trees, and I have a small tree. Due to the direction of my property, I seem to get ALL the leaves down the street when the north winds blow in the fall/winter, go figure! So, I have to figure something out that for cover that will allow me to blow them out of my yard easily. Before the recent rains here, my lawn was pretty dead, but now it's all greened up again. Back to the lawnmower, for now....
