Hilary, I lost all my big old trees due to a hurricane last year and it was horrible. My yard looked like a parking lot. You can replant and try new designs but a tall mature tree cannot be replaced. I miss the sound that they made just as much as the shade.

You just to ahead and rant all you want than start planting those trees. We hired a landscaper and the yard is very nice. I count my blessings that we still have a house.

We had another powerful thunderstorm this afternoon. My shade tarp and some plants were blown down and the electricity was out for a couple of hours but the temperature was livable . It will really be a sauna tomorrow.
