If you live in the country, you get dust, other good things

This letter is in response to the article in The Citizen concerning paving Quarters Road. I understand some people still want Quarters Road paved.

I would think after wasting our tax dollars on the last project to get rid of the dust on Quarters Road the commissioners should have showed them the door. To even think about cutting down all the trees along Quarters Road just to pave it is almost unthinkable. I'm sure the commissioners can come up with a better plan or leave it the way it is.

Most of us chose to live on Quarters Road a dirt, tree-lined road because we liked living in the country. When you move to the country you expect country things dirt roads, cows mooing, roosters crowing, horses whinnying, goats baaing, ducks quacking, pigs oinking, dogs barking, cats meowing, birds singing, squirrels squealing, ostriches% oops, can't remember what they do, but they are out here.

Along with all those animals, you get animal smells, tractors running, mowers mowing, hay being baled, children playing and plenty of dust and dirt after all we do live in the country. Dust is inevitable.

Now you might say to yourself, Why would anyone want to live in such a noisy, dirty, dusty place? I can only speak for myself. I see only the peace, tranquility, and the beauty of a tree-lined Quarters Road. Love the smells of the country, the dirt and dust, it goes with the territory.

In this life you have choices; I made mine.
