And, as we drove out of the property on a trip to town, we pointed out trees that should be felled and processed for fire wood as soon as the leaves start falling and the temperatures cool a bit.
COLUMBIA — The American Red Cross has seen a shortfall of about 25,000 blood donations in the first two months of the summer, which makes it hard to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products.
