New green leaves on trees and blooms on the ornamental fruit trees and red buds surely look good to winter-weary eyes. In February, El Paso suffered from the cold snap that much of the rest of the country endured and temperatures dropped to single digits. Consequently, every palm tree in the city is dead. A massive trimming action is underway in hopes that many of the trees will come back. Cactus and dessert plantings took a beating as well. A beautiful city looks kind of be-draggled.
Bill boards at strategic intervals here say: Pray for Juarez during Lent The situation there is lawless. El Paso remains safe, however. We will pray.
