It's actually looking better out there. That's due to the temperatures being much much cooler now. If I have failed to mentioned it, 2011 is the hottest summer on record. We had an insane amount of 100+ degree days I think it was around 80...
Still no rain though, so we have made the decision to add gravel. When it gets cooler we'll cover about 1/2 of the area with decomposed granite. That way we can have a small lawn area that we'll be able to water. We as you can imagine, have water restrictions, and that is not a time when having a large yard is fun. The plumbago does pretty well without a lot of water, and the star of the show would be lantanas. I did plant some yellow trailing lantanas. That's right, even though I really don't like yellow flowers, I chose the trailing yellow lantana. Mostly coz they have done much better around town than the white and lavender ones. Easy, no fuzz is the way to go!
