Here are some pictures of our house on base at Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, AZ. It's a brand new house, bigger than most of the houses "in town" and it's free. Fortunately it even has a back yard with built-in sprinklers so that we can have some grass. The front is what they call "desert landscaped" which basically means means rocks. Although, we do have a tree in the front yard and one in the back that we're attempting to grow. Trees and grass are hot commodities around these parts. I think that it probably has something to do with the cost of water out here. The average water bill for people in Yuma with a partial yard is about $300 a month. Did I mention that we don't even have to pay for utilities on base? It's a good thing since the military pays about as well as teachers get paid. : )
