Carol, it is Paradise! And "the dust/sand/dirt" that you're getting...what great soil it's becoming! Texas gardening, on the other hand for anyone who loves tropicals, is a never ending struggle to keep them hydrated in summer and then to keep them warm in winter. When I asked if we could have a tropical forum, I wrote that I was "a tropical girl in a xeriscape world." Did I forget about the deer, armadillos, snakes, raccoons, and other critters that like my garden?
BTW..I love what you've done with your hair....
