Granny Pickle thinks it is high time Hittyville had an Official Directory starting with the history of the Five Boroughs of Hittyville. And who better to write the introduction than the founding Friend and present Governor of Hittyville...Miss Hitty!
Miss Hitty originally hails from Maine. She was quite an avid adventurer in her youth. One summer, long ago, our wooden Friend decided to travel West to discover virgin lands and waters. Miss Hitty was hoping to find a very special place to build her homestead.
After weeks of hiking with just a knapsack, Miss Hitty discovered the most beautiful waterfall!
Miss Hitty not only discovered Stone Falls and the ancient whale, Blue...but met a kindred spirit, Miss Hickory. The two "girls" became fast friends and have remained so for too many years to count.
Miss Hitty always believed Blue was a mythical creature. Only Miss Hickory and Miss Hitty have been "allowed" to ride on the REAL Blue...not mythical at all, but seemingly ageless.
She is lovingly protected by her many Hittyville Friends to this day.
Miss Hickory was eager to show Miss Hitty the land just beyond Stone Falls.
Lots and lots of beautiful land...
Miss Hitty fell in love with Meadow Creek...where Miss Hickory made her home and still does!
Miss Hitty eventually built her homestead at one end of Meadow Creek which is parallel to Hittyville Harbor.
Happy River took Miss Hitty's breath away. A perfect haven for MANY animal friends...
Lake Erie sealed Miss Hitty's fate. The esteemed Governor put down roots and hasn't left Hittyville since she first laid eyes on the heavenly land.
The days of Miss Hitty were truly remarkable in every way...but the present days of Governor Hitty are just as remarkable...in a different and delightful way.
Let the work on the Directory begin!
This is a delightful post of the origins of Hittyville and how Miss Hitty discovered it. Fabulous inspiring photographs as well!
