The woods next door add to our enjoyment of country living. They add shade and cool the air. On the other hand, there is something affecting the fir trees and it appears that some look like they could be dying. I hope not! The woods were planted for use to produce lumber. This could be affected by whatever is affecting the trees. We will see what comes of it.
The woods provide shelter for deer and other wildlife. I throw apples over the fence to feed the deer and see them mornings eating them. They have also come into the yard for apples. So let's hope the woods remain as a welcome part of our surroundings.
