Hi Sunflowerkru!It’s tuesday again and… Here I am ;-) !
Here is a surreal picture from last weekend: my cherry tree in bloom under big snowflakes. You can hear my husband playing three notes on his guitar in the background too <3.
I hope everyone is well and my thoughts go straight to those who kindly picked up the torch last week @ninappon,@roguetwelve when I wasn’t in the best of spirits. And your messages made me feel so good, girls. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !! You were absolutely right. The world can be a scary place sometimes, but we should always look ahead and think of the positives. As long as there is life there is hope.
So I won’t talk about Covid. (My husband is better.) I won’t talk about climate change. (My cherry tree is fine.) I won’t talk about the presidential elections in France. (let’s think about something else.) And although I won’t talk about war in Ukraine, I am thinking very hard about all those who are suffering and need help. Let us continue to support all those who need to be supported.
I have been limiting my social media recently, so it’s been a while since I participated. Thank you to everyone who continued to tag me despite my absence. Special thanks to @togetherkru for keeping BFSN going week after week.
My friend has some new baby goats at her farm that I got to cuddle with last week. This is Hermione and she has two brothers who are, of course, named Harry and Ron. I hope seeing her will brighten someone’s day!
If you’ve ever wondered what happens on stage after the curtain drops, my photo is pretty much your answer haha. We made it through the week of shows without a massive Covid outbreak! And now we have a couple of weeks to recover (and re-set… the guy on my back in the photo broke his foot mid show the next day ) before we start travelling. Time to take these fundraising efforts and our show of Ukrainian pride across Canada!
The outpouring of support that we received at these shows was so so heartwarming. There have been so many tears over the last few days - both in the audience and on stage. Our hearts are absolutely with the people of Ukraine, shown by the absolute roar each time the Ukrainian flag was brought on stage, giving us the boost we needed to get through the encore at the end of a very hard 2 hour show.
And another fun bonus photo to hopefully make you smile… Here’s what Charlie thought of me being gone all week. He stole my shoe pretty much the second I got home from the post show reception on Friday.
Stef - it’s bitterly cold and snowing here too, although that’s normal here for this time of year. And it’s supposed to warm up by the weekend. But I have total confidence that your cherry tree will persevere!
Kim - I’m pretty sure that goat just melted my heart. And the names are incredible
i’ve had a bit of a week, and it’s still going, but i haven’t fallen on my face just yet, so there’s still hope. there’s even a chance i’ll be able to take a few days off in a few weeks, so at least there’s some good news.
i also give you Spencer ‘helping’ today.
@togetherkru good to hear that your husband is doing better, though i don’t envy you the weather. for once, it’s better over here ;-)
@igotbellarkeforthat so glad to see you again! and that goat! what an adorable little baby :3
@natassakar goodness, those pictures are so beautiful!
@roguetwelve you guys look so beautiful in your costumes! and props to Charlie, my dogs steals no shoes for no reason whatsoever ;-)
It’s tuesday and since i’m sick (a bad cold but nothing serious don’t worry ) i can’t quite put there coherent thoughts together. So my message will be short.
Enjoy this clip from a Manu Chao concert l went to see with 3 friends last week. He said “We’re alive” several times and his music was full of joy. It felt good…
Thanks for the tag Stef :) nasty colds are the worst, so I hope you feel better soon I’m glad you were able to go to that show before you fell ill, so you could soak up that positive energy. I really love those kinds of vibes you get from going to a really good concert!
It’s the middle of June already, how did that happen? I can’t believe how fast time passes when you’re an adult. I spent another weekend in the countryside, pulling weeds. Hopefully we’ll get some flowers planted soon, because the flowerbeds looks way too barren. Dad and I took a lil detour on our way there and got to view these sights:
Tonight, I have for you a handful of pics from my Saturday trip to Poznań, mostly from the Archeological Museum, which are only slightly illegally taken ;-)
I wish I could’ve taken more photos of the city because it’s quite nice looking, especially in the summer, but alas, it’s being dug up and repaved at the moment, so all you can see are holes in the ground
But the trip was a massive success, my friend and I had so much fun, that I can forgive a little inconvenience.
@togetherkru colds suck, so I hope you feel better soon! ❤️
@ninappon I feel you, I have no clue where did the time go either. I certainly can’t remember any of the days so far ;-D
You all have such lovely pictures from interesting trips, but alas, I have nothing but more flowers. A close-up of my white peonies - probably my favorite perennial because I’m intrigued by how it starts so small every year and gets so big — plus some beautiful orange dahlias that my husband planted in our side garden. That’s not quite reached its full glory, so pictures of it in its entirety will have to wait for a bit. But my dogwood tree is almost ready for pictures. Maybe next week.
We haven’t done much so far this summer, and I’ve mostly bern sitting around writing fic. I’m a really slow writer, so getting 5-6k in good enough shape to post every Monday has taken up most of my free time. But my whole family is off to Maine the end of July, by which time the fic will be done, god willing!
But honestly, I don’t want to anticipate our vacation too eagerly because the summer goes by fast enough without me wishing the weeks away.
I hope you’re all doing well. I poached @carrieeve ‘s tags, so I hope she doesn’t mind. Happy BFSN to everyone!
A week off has meant going on a lot of walks with Charlie. We’ve stuck around my neighbourhood lately because honestly I don’t feel like driving and gas prices are insane. But that’s okay because there are a ton of walking paths in the immediate area. If there’s one thing that I actually like about the city that I live in, it’s that it really respects green space. You’re never more than a 5 minute walk from some kind of park. Once you actually get into the ravine right by my house, all of the sounds of the city are cut off and you’re just in nature and that’s what I need.
Bonus photo because I just think it’s funny— it’s rained a ton since last night. I was trying to take a picture of how badly the retaining pond had flooded (the water should literally be on the other side of those cattails). There was a duck swimming in the middle of the footpath! And of course right as I tried to take a picture Charlie scared it away
Thank you for the tags @togetherkru@ninappon@carrieeveand@jeanie205! Stef, I’m so sorry that you’re sick. But I’m glad that you got to live a little and enjoy a live concert! Here’s to a speedy recovery . Nina I love those gorgeous and peaceful views . Karolina I’m glad that you enjoyed your trip. And taking slightly-illegal photos is half the fun in museums isn’t it? Jeanie, gorgeous flowers. I know what you mean about peonies. I can’t wait for them to start blooming here
My new phone has portrait mode, so naturally I had to test it out on the family pups. Abby is on the left, she’s our old sassy girl that we got back when I was a senior in high school (over 11 years ago ), and now she enjoys the only child treatment at my parents’ house. I think she’s also the favorite child haha. And then we have Dixie, aka Dee Dee, on the right. She belongs to my brother and sister-in-law and is SO CUTE when she’s not causing trouble haha.
Well it’s not even technically summer yet, but I’m already wishing for fall lol. We had a heat index of 104°F (40°C) with like 75% humidity today and more of the same expected the rest of this week and next. That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Thanks@togetherkru@ninapponand@carrieeve for the tags this week and to those who tagged me last week! It had been a busy past week and I kind of forgot/didn’t have the brain power to join in
My friend and I got to go visit our other friend who lives in chicago two weekends ago! On our drive there he tried asking what exactly tumblr is and it was very hard to try and explain hahah. Anyways! One of the things we knew we wanted to do was the conservatory so here are two pictures of some of the flowers I liked best!
