If there is one thing that we need to beat the Texas heat is more trees not less. We're going to have a vicious cycle where less trees means more heat, more drought and more death of trees.
The latest rain has been nice and we welcome it, but many tree experts say this is no where near enough to save the trees that are in distress from this year's drought.
As a side note, I finally drove through the area that burned in Bastrop - it was a horrible sight. It's like the death of your soul to see such wide swath of burnt trees.
I am a treehugger and I'll cry with you.
