Nice photos AG and agree with you on the ugliness of the brown grass. Here is Westminster so many beautiful lawns have turned brown, including ours. I'm surprised that the state isn't giving out tax breaks for artificial lawns. A couple of neighbors have them and they look better than the dirt-look. As to what TIS said, we are supposed to get an El Nino, but they say it may not help much with the drought. People forget that much of California is basically a desert.
