Desolate. The last remnants of the old west, right here in my dying yard. A reminder nothing lives forever. A Morricone whistle is heard in the air, the faint screech of a falcon, a close up of a scorpion seeking shade from the hot, hot sun.

Gone are the embarrassing overgrown skeletal attack-shrubs, also the stupid bark and the stupid tattered ground cloth flapping in the wind like a deserted clothesline in a ghost town. Gone is the embarrassment, period.

Welcome to the wasteland.

It's rather Zen. Minimalist. And yes, much nicer than the previous ...., landscaping (although I will admit I am using that term loosely).

Zen, yes. Probably a better descriptor than, "wasteland."

Until spring and more plants, maybe you need a sundial or a plaster gila monster, rattlesnake or such.

Oooooh, good idea!
