Interiors schminteriors. I’m hallucinating through yet another sun bleached Texas summer, so what I’m really covetous of is fabulously verdant landscaping — the lush likes of which could never survive Austin’s intemperate clime. Around here, brown lawns and crispy shrubs grace yards of waterwise folks far and wide. The sign at the corner mechanic states that it’s so hot, trees are begging the dogs. And you know it’s dry when you’re desperate to get pissed on, but I bet my slowly dying hedges would recycle those precious bodily fluids faster than Kyle Maclachlan in Dune.

This is what I want right now.

It’s even cloudy there.

Heaven.

    Oh for the love, Erin. Come see us in LA! We can offer you pools (well, someone can, not me) and gardens and tiny dogs!

    (Also, I’m sharing this with my husband the Dune fan.)

    That lap pool looks delightful. Are you guys not getting any rain? We’re getting rain every day this week in Houston

    Oh, how lush! Love it. I have 2 brown thumbs and 8 brown fingers. Even though beautiful landscaping can be had here in Georgia — it isn’t at my house. These are beautiful.

    I have no outdoor space so I’m really missing lush greenery. Doesn’t help that I kill 75% of the house plants I own. My next pad is going to have an atrium.
