So far I think I have all of the trees alive, but I've lost some major shrubs that had a long-standing presence in the yard. You drive down the street here and look up and see the tops of even the native wild-seeded trees brown, crisp from the bright sun and hot days.

People need to stop pouring drinking water on grass. There are other things that are much harder and more expensive to replace, that are more critical to cooling our houses (trees) that should be watered, but ditch the turf.
