Final Hope

Today, Philip Reedy visited the Hope Valley one final time. He timed his visit as snow had just fallen and glazed the landscape. Though, the dusting did not suppress the valley’s iridescent beauty. It accented it.

This autumn, the Hope Valley was challenged by suffocating smoke and singed at its edges by the Caldor Fire. It exited the ordeal as a survivor. And in its final moment, the Hope Valley exhibited luster and grace.
