Recovering the Front Yard
When we bought our Baja home several months ago, the dunes in our front yard had been flattened---there is not a road in front, but everyone just
drove across the other vacant lots into our front yard---street in back still not completed.
Very recently we put a stop to that---created an entrance for us in the back (where the road will be) and put rocks along our property line. People
still park on the vacant lot next door, however.
We were really pleased with how fast our front yard is returning to dunes---wind is helping and with the rain this year, the plants are appearing
quickly.
And before we left, the flowers were just beginning
Isn't mother nature great? We love watching this process.

The yard will ebb and flow with the wind, at least mine does. Marking your yard off with rocks is a tradition (no Pase) in our area. Everywhere
else is free game for a new road

Boy, that is true---new roads appear constantly in those dunes---we meet people all the time as we are pulling them out of the soft sand on some of
the new roads. 
But after a while, the sand packs down and bingo, new road to nowhere.
Besides wanting to give our yard a chance to recover, there may be someone building quite soon a few lots from us and crossing our front yard would be
the easiest access for them---but, they will be able to create another new road, and or maybe the "real" designated road will appear. 
Oh dear, I guess someone might think that is not very neighborly of us---oh well,
Diane

I'm gald to here that the landscape is turning back to normal. As you know with our property, we have roads going through it, and our neighbour
below us has about 5 roads through his yard!!
I can't wait to get my house built, so that I can start on the yard work, to me yard work is way better than house work

The roads up by your property keep growing and they really are quite dangerous. People speed and in places they come together quite blindly----will
be good when the "real" roads are in place.
Stay warm up there in Coldland.
