I keep hearing people say how pretty the windmills are up on top of Armenia Mountain. They wouldnt think they were quite so pretty if they had to listen to the constent noise they make. We were told they were quiet, but they sound like a airplane, stuck in mid-flight. We have about 8 of them right across the road from our front door. For the first time, I cant look forward to a peaceful,quiet, lazy summer day. They dont exist any longer here!!!
