What the drought did. . .

Here's the view from my front porch on Friday morning.


Here's the view from my porch about 20 minutes ago.


Here's what's left of the trees.

The stupid drought killed off my beautiful trees in the front yard. I am not happy about the changed view and losing my beautiful loblolly pines, but on the upside, we didn't have to pay for the trees coming down. The electric company ended up taking the trees down as they were a danger to the lines around our house.
