How Green is Bonaire

Well, Bonaire is really green these days, for Bonaire anyway. We don't get rain every day, but there is still enough to keep the weeds and bushes happy. This is what our back yard has looked like for most of the years we have lived here. It's a great doggie playground, but somewhat dusty when it gets windy.


Here is what the yard looks like now. We've started mowing the weeds as if they were grass. All this green will shrivel up and get brown or grey once the rains stop, but we're thinking that it will be less dusty because the roots will still be stablizing the soil.
