If you went out to the market, or a nearby farm to choose a pumpkin ~ to decorate your front porch this year. Or maybe several, some for the table top or just here or there inside your home, it's reasonable to think you looked for and chose the ones without flaws. The ones that best represented what a pumpkin should be in every way possible.
As we choose a president for the United States of America, the leader of the free world, who will serve all of us in the years ahead, we have an obligation and a responsibility to choose the one who is the very best in every way possible. And the choice has been clear for a very long time. Character and words and decency matter. Morals and behavior matter. How we treat our neighbors, our co-workers, how we treat those we do not even know ~ that matters.
We can talk of democracy, we can talk of policies and yes, these issues are important, and it is critical to be informed and educated about these. But underlying these issues is the character of the person and that will determine their ability to be a leader. Choose well, it matters.
And little cat JUNE adds, just because she can, and can be "catty" about it ... I think orange is just fine for the pumpkin at my front door. It is not at all fine for the leader of my country! I voted BLUE.
wow they are big... ours are much smaller... like all things here... as we were in normandy with jean and bill they had a good laugh as I brought the "big" potatoes she needed ... in canada that are probably cherry taters LOL. happy howloween to you
