Mine say, "Thank goodness she finally found a landscape designer who will tackle a job like this in the middle of nowhere!" I have waved the white flag and called in help. How much help I can afford remains to be seen, but we will have a plan for the front yard at least in a couple of weeks. It's hot as h### in the middle of Texas, so an irrigation system is a priority. I am really hating the heat and drought, and the heat and drought seem to be the norm for us the last few years.
