Due to the drought, we're only allowed to water twice a week, and with 100°F temperatures and higher this summer, we're watching a lot of trees and shrubs die.
The landscape artists still have a lot of work today. Instead of planting lawns and flowers, they've moved to tree removal. As a result, I've seen more than the normal amount of trees getting chopped down. I've driven past several of these homes with firewood stacked neatly outside the front door. While it may be really handy during the wintertime not to have to walk too far in the cold, it's not safe from the termites.
We used to stack our wood against the house, but after finding termites, I purchased a metal rack from Home Depot, and carried the wood, two pieces at a time across the yard. These days, when we buy firewood, we always tell them to stack it WAY out back!
