The recent rains have been a godsend for my sister Sue's front yard in the Central California town of Arroyo Grande.
Her husband tore out their lawn in 2015 and replaced it with drought-resistant plants in 2015. The photo above shows what it looked like two years later.
It was a wise decision, as the plants managed to survive the recent drought years...
...and with the current rains targeting the Central California coast...
...the place is set to turn into a jungle of flowers...
...and succulents.
Between drought, pandemics, and the rise of global authoritarianism over the last seven years...
...the future has not been looking very promising.
Recently there has been a feeling of a sea change, a shift in consciousness, and for the first time in years I am feeling optimistic.
Happy New Year and let your drought-resistant garden grow.

Me too though I can't much justify it rationally. :-) But that's okay.
