I have mentioned probably a thousand times how much I've enjoyed Sunset Magazine over the years.
A few months back, they were looking for quotes about how us westerners feel about grass. I sent in my submission, and was contacted by a fact checker to verify some stuff, all the while having no real idea of how my quote would be used.
Chris and I took off to San Luis Obispo for the weekend, and as luck would have it, my Sunset arrived in the mailbox the day we left! I had to trek out to a Borders to see the first minute of my 15 minutes of fame.
I didn't know the article was going to be about synthetic lawn alternatives, but I think I got my point across.
I just hope my neighbors understand that someday, all that mulch will be a garden as beautiful as my friend Laura's!

Woohoo indeed! That's awesome Katie!
That's very awesome. My sister and one of her neighbors xerascaped their lawns in Dallas - so a lot of cacti (flowering and non-flowering) and they attract all sorts of amazing wildlife. It's certainly more interesting than the cookie-cutter green miracle-gro lawns most of America seems to strive for.
I can't wait to see how yours turns out!
Congrats. I think you are destined for more than just 15 minutes of fame!
I think you said just the right thing! Synthetic lawns, indeed.
That's so cool!
my aunt is visiting us from socal right now and she was commenting on the tighter water use rules, which is basically ruling out the conventional green monoliths.
we chatted for a bit about xeriscaping and clay pot irrigation for her garden.
seems like one way or another, regionally adapted crops will make a comeback.
suhweet! i haven't opened my new sunset yet...i'll be looking for you.
Thanks for pointing out your quote, I would have missed it otherwise...never connecting your last name. Very cool!
