Back in June, I told one of my friends that we were moving to Hope Valley. She thought I would be lonely, bored and craving to move back to civilization. She could not have been more wrong. I don't miss the noise of the highway or the multiple runs of the fire station 24/7. I don't miss the litter or the fumes.
I love the serenity of my home, the friendliness of my neighbors,The Langworthy Library filled with local history info, the local business people, my mail carrier, West's Bakery, Hack and Livery and farm stands. How could I be bored? As an avid bird watcher, my own back yard affords me the best from sparrow to wild turkeys to hawks and our resident Great Horned Owl. We have streams to fish in and deer to watch. This part of Rhode Island is a treasure and endangered.
I can only hope that our efforts to reject the impending 300 house development called Brushy Brook is successful. The next planning board meeting should be interesting.
