Trees that should be leafing out, won't. Even the Junipers aka Cedar's are dying off. I never thought I would see hundreds of brown "Cedar" trees as I drove around the county. Cedar Creek has been especially hit hard. During the summer I would watch approaching rain storms die at the Interstate 35 out as they traveled from west to east. I wondered if "mother nature" was punishing us for something. Walking around my place was like walking on a bed of corn flakes. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Trees of all varieties are dead on my place and only the coming of spring will reveal which ones are left. Now who wants to do what with our ground water?
