I can't even imagine "too much space"...i have dreams about having more space. I day dream about cutting the house in half so i will have more garden space, sometimes i dream about cutting the neighbor's house in half.

Yes, Colima is an itty-bitty state but it has a lot of geology like volcanoes (one very active, one dormant), ocean, earthquakes, 140,000 hectares of Biosphere, lots of fruit plantations (coconut, pineapple, bananas, papaya, limes etc). So it would not be so easy to walk from one end to the other. I used to think Colima was the smallest state but learned that there are 2 states smaller. The state of Colima is not short of water and we do not worry about drought, but the state to the north is prone to water shortages. Actually i think the world has a water problem. A few years ago i installed water saving toilets and hardscaped all of the planting areas in the front of the house (the garden is at the back), leaving the olive tree in the sidewalk planting strip. About half the year is dry and the other half is the rainy season and both seasons are warm. This year i am installing at least one and maybe two rain barrels to capture rain water for the garden. Yes, i would say Mother Nature is treating us very well although she is becoming less predictable. The volcano which is practically in my backyard exploded just about every day during 2015 and sometimes 3 or 4 times in a 24 hour period with no loss of human life. So we were all treated by Mother Nature to just about the greatest show on earth. Everyone here loves the volcano and is very proud that Wired magazine named it the most spectacular volcano of 2015. Happy to hear you are not suffering drought conditions, are you in southwest Texas? From the news, it seems like part of Texas is getting way too much rain and another part is not getting any...well it is a big state.
