A new project was dropped onto Brent's plate after the storm. Our awesome Bradford pear tree that gave us so much great shade needed to come down after some wind damage. This thing was so tiny when we moved in 9 years ago.

2008...after Brent had already cut 1/2 of it awayI am mourning the loss. Couldn't plant much under this tree because it took all the light, but it was best thing for reducing the electric bill in the summer. We can already tell a BIG difference on these 85 degree days. I dread next summer!
Attempting to see the positive...
1) We have a new house. Okay, at least a house that can be seen from the street now.
While it was on the market last year, it was kind of funny to see the listed picture. You thought we were selling a garage with a bedroom above it.

2)We also have firewood...holler if you need some bonfire wood.
3) Brent is now a pro at running a chainsaw. He didn't lose any of his limbs, thank God.
Any ideas of things to plant in FULL sun?

No way! We lost our HUGE Bradford Pear in our front yard too! Same thing--you can see our house now. Very weird. We were super sad, but we're getting used to it.
