Palm trees were the proof I needed that I could live in Austin… now 90% of them are dead and gone.
This seems like a massive hint. This is from April 21st. It’s super super sad.
There was one specific palm tree that I saw on a visit to Austin before the move… I figured that if it could survive the winters here then so could I. I drive past it often and I’m going to have to go and see if that one is one of the few that still stands. *prays* I just moved into this fixer-upper less than two years ago and I’m really just not mentally ready to pack up a whole house again.
