Baahaus Animal Rescue Group provides an important service to our rural community (“Couple creates a sanctuary for farm animals,” Dec. 31).

We are neighbors to Baahaus and appreciate the sounds of what a real animal farm sounds like. Their sounds of daily feedings and rhythm of life help us stay grounded in what we hold most dear and reinforce the reasons for choosing to live on Vashon.

Thanks for supporting their good work.
