Replacing the lawn with draught-tolerant flowers is really pretty. You don't have to go with cacti. In fact, cacti aren't really native to north Texas, but there are lots of wildflowers that are.

I've replaced alot of my yard with such flowers (native to Maryland, not N. Texas, of course). Go figure, this year, we've had ALOT of rain, but during the dry spells, I rarely have to water. And the flowers are so pretty!

Okay, back to the bike!
