My favorite view is looking out on the cove where I live. I like the diversity of wildlife and the flora and fauna. I feel pretty lucky that I live on a cove that shows me the wide array of diversity in this environment, everything that makes it feel so vibrant and alive. There is a connection of nature, the water, the Shore, and the people who are here that I think is very special and unique and deserves to be preserved and protected. I love how people take a minute to wave hello or stop and say hello when I walk my dogs. I love the congeniality. I love getting to know the people that are in my day-to-day life. It’s very different over here. The people make it lovely. They have a care and concern for where we live.
