I once lived in that environment (Arizona.) Trust me, it's very cool and intriguing, but after a while you end up missing the simple stuff like grass, trees, rain, and you even wish for snow to come up at least once a year. I remember I always wanted to just see the ground naturally green, and the horizon pushed up by trees.
