Selfie stick morning.

What a perfect day for a trail ride. Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I enjoyed mine!

It’s been a Spring.

Make Your Voice Count by Responding to U.S. Census! The 2020 Census is almost underway. In April, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin counting every resident of the U.S., a process that occurs every 10 years. The information collected will be used to guide public policy and influence our representation in Harrisburg and Washington for the coming decade.... That’s why it’s so important that you make sure your voice is counted. The attention and resources our rural communities receive depends greatly on the number of rural residents who respond. Make sure to respond yourself and encourage friends, neighbors and other community members to do the same. Watch for your invitation. Most households95 percentwill receive an invitation in the mail by April 1, which will include information about how you can answer the Census. Some residents will have their invitations delivered by a Census worker. Respond. All households have the option to respond online, by phone or by mail. Instructions will be on your invitation. Encourage your friends, family and neighbors to respond as well. Your response affects representation. Census data will determine how many seats Pennsylvania holds in Congress and how those districts are drawn. It will also affect state House and Senate districts. That means that for rural Pennsylvanians to be effectively represented in Harrisburg and Washington, we need to make sure we’re counted. Your response benefits your community. Census data directs how $675 billion in federal money is spent each year. Your response is needed to make sure your community receives important investments in areas like infrastructure, health care, education, food security and technology.
