Cindy, I happen to love the smell of the country and I think most folks do that love the country. So, it’s a “good thing.”

And as far at the cowboy chosing his shovel, that’s what he was doing and I asked if I could take his photo.

Not sure why you took offense but I happen to like Wilton and I am very much in favor of small business like the local hardware store in Sheldon.

I would much rather see the locals keep the acreage and the new tract homes not come take over. When I want to get centered and feel calm, I drive to Wilton and watch the calves and see nature at its best.

So, I love the smell of Country.

I am a former Wilton resident (grew up there and am now in grad school out-of-state) and my parents have resided in Wilton since 1976. They are also part of the group that is trying to keep the large developers away from their property. Have you ever considered that if more people move to Wilton that Wilton will not be Wilton? And the comment about a cowboy choosing a shovel…that was unnecessary. Should we go to the Ace Hardware “in the big city” and watch an “urban cowboy” choose his shovel and make a slide show for the internet? Should the Wiltonians hitch up their horses and ride into town and be shocked by the motor vehicles on the road? You have given me the feeling that you are trying to profit off of the people (and their lifestyle) who love their land and are trying to maintain their surroundings. Please do not insult the Wilton residents with such country-cliches as “can you smell the country?”.

Kaye, our areas all flow into one another and my clients of course are in Sacramento County (several communities/cities), Placer County (Roseville,Granite Bay, Auburn, Loomis) and El Dorado County (El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs). I stay within those counties and add Yolo County but only West Sacramento within Yolo County.
