Our entire backyard is a natural desert landscape, filled with various types of cactus, mesquite and palo verde trees, and other desert "plants". I am pretty sure this backyard has managed to stay pretty close to it's natural form, despite our house being ~43 years old!!! It amazes me that none of the prior owners put any time (or money) into it but I guess the flipside is it's a blank slate for us to make it our own. The boys love to roam the yard however this usually results in someome getting a "sticker" in their foot (or leg, arm, etc) despite taking precautions.
It only takes a little spring-time rain to bring the desert into bloom, giving color to what is normally a very green/brown backdrop! P.S. today I turned 33 and am inspired to give a little color to our front courtyard...
