Small Town Vibe

One of the first times Paul and I visited Cape Cod we saw one beautiful white sandy beach after another. Pretty soon they all started looking the same. But it was a delight...and we kept looking.

So I had to chuckle when I was reminded of that the last couple of days as we have walked...and golf carted around the island.....seeing one beautiful lupin field after another that they're all starting to look the same.

 But it's such a delight...so we'll keep looking. 

I am starting to look for interesting backdrops....just to change it up.

There is no shortage of photo ops...so you haven't seen the last of the lupin.

I am horrified and saddened about what has happened in Minnesota. Violence is never OK.

At first I was a little disappointed that I wasn't going to be in Portland for today's No Kings Protest. It's energizing for me to be part of a mass gathering and reminds me how many people understand the trouble we're in. There is strength in numbers. 

I do wish....however...that there was nothing we needed to protest. 

But it was just as powerful to be part of a protest with a small town vibe. There can also be strength with even just a few.

Paul and I walked with about 20 local Cranberry Island folks from the church down to dock...and we picked up a few along the way. 

There was laughter and joy as we walked....all hoping for a better world.

This is what democracy looks like!

Choose Love! Do the Right Thing!

I still have hope that our democracy will survive.
