Spring is my favorite season of the year.
It wakes up Mother Nature from its winter sleep, brings back life, hope, and beauty of nature.
Spring inspires me to spend more time outdoors, walking, gardening, and enjoying nature.
Spring also brings Easter; a very religious holiday for me, filled with Ukrainian traditions, including Traditional Ukrainian Easter Baskets, and Pysanky.
I would like to inform you about my intent to take a temporary break from posting to my blog, due to the current unrest in Ukraine.
I am following the old saying: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”.
I am “getting out of my kitchen” , since I am totally consumed by the current events in Ukraine, a country of my ancestors, and current motherland of many of my relatives and friends.
I am so thankful for living in a truly democratic country, where my human rights and freedom of speech are not violated.
Korovai is a special, creatively decorated bread, with one, two, or three tiers, which is usually made by the mother of the bride, and presented to the bride and groom, with a special blessing.
This December I will celebrate my 2nd Blogging Anniversary, and am very pleased to inform you that my readership started with 600 visits per month, and currently it stands at 4500, and growing. ALL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
Father’s Day is celebrated in the US, and many other countries, on June 20th, this year. However, numerous other countries dedicate this holiday to their dads on different days. In Ukraine, it is also celebrated this Sunday, but dads in Poland have to wait until Wednesday, June 23rd.
If your country celebrates Father’s Day on a different day yet, please share it with us.
