I still just argh at the numbers of people who go "OH I JUST HAD TO MOVE TO THE DESERT! The desert called to me with all its natural beauty- but now I need a huge swimming pool and a thick green lawn for my conventionally-built-house-not-made-for-heat-just-like-back-home and oh GOOD GOD no deer or gila monsters or anything ack! Disgusting!"
Mind, I wouldn't mind a little bit of water wastage like small pool or water garden in my own desert dream home, but it's the super combination of it all. Plus then of COURSE things come to your yard in the desert if you have a source of water. Why make it a poisonous one and then freak out when the wild thirsties show?
