I just don't get it

 I really don't understand how blogger/google accounts work. On my laptop I've been kicked out from this blog. Here on my phone I can log in and add posts. Can't kept logged in so that I can comment on others' blogs.


Deers, daily sight.

 As most of Europe is enjoying full spring, here in the backwoods it's still a dream.



But it is still beautiful. We had a small snowstorm today, now sky is clear and temperature is going down. It was -8C and still getting colder. (little black dot is 'Suma)

That is my forest. It's not dense and dark, but airy and light, and it's something I love. Here are my roots growing, and I hope I can pass this to my grandchildren; my grandfather bought this forest after the war, he has lost everything. His house (my father's home) was built with trees from this forest. This gives me food, and this is my safe place. Yes, I do hug my trees.

Snow was only knee high in the woods, but in the open it was up to my waist. Not fun, not at all. Few weeks and there will be no snow? Even if I don't say it out loud, I'm quite tired of this winter thing. I would like to have spring and warming soil beneath my feet. I'd like to plant seeds to grow.

Ys is doing fine, his papers (virtual) will be transported to adults neurological department now, so far he's been under the children's department. His meds are working fine, he is no longer gaining weight (actually, he's lost some which s good).

Sys is having his exams this spring, and D is doing her final courses. If everything goes as planned, they will be graduating this spring! D has been dating a lovely girl, and loves the big city.

I've been baking. First it was a need, few BIG bills to pay so didn't want to spend any money, and second - I had a lot of flours to use before they spoil. 

My fresh yeast has been in the freezer for four years, I wasn's sure if it had survived:


I left it there a bit longer and it was foaming all over the place! Yup, IT'S ALIVE!!!

Later I found some dry yeast, best before 9/2019. Weeellll. It's alive, too.
