Duty to God, Duty to Country - Citizens Vote and Be Heard

 Around here yesterday, dark, cold, snow flurries - typical New Hampshire late fall day

Driving I wondered, what the world will look like come Wednesday, after the vote?

Today began the same as everyday for me, a trail run with the dogs;

 But I needed the cold crisp 18 degree air today more than ever; to clear my mind before the vote and pray the outcome will be good for our country, for my children, for all...

The trail I run each morning takes me the same 3 miles through our property,

Yet I am privileged to see the changes day to day, season to season, year after year

 The forest never ceases to amaze me

The pups, now 1 year, are always finding something new to smell, see and enjoy

It makes for a perfect start to everyday for all of us!

Soon after our trail run, off to the Town hall I went to cast my vote - Have you?

All is great here - Been a bit of a slacker in this space - last post in July, ahem :-)

Hope to be here more often,

Home, Family, Life and the Outdoors Call to Me

So much good to soak in and to enjoy each day, so little time! 

But wanted to take time to share my favorite quote on voting with you, 

                                  Wishing you a lovely fall day - Until we meet here again, 

 - Erin

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote 

that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--

or at least that he ought not so to do; 

But that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society 

for which he is accountable to God and his country. "
